Few have such a deep understanding of Indigenous justice issues than Hon. Steven Point, a former judge and Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia.
From 1975 to 1999, Point served as Chief of the Skowkale First Nation. From 1994 to 1999 he served as Tribal Chair of the Stó:lō Nation.
He brought a positive, hopeful message to 600 delegates attending the 2023 Conference on the Enforcement of First Nation Laws, held in June 2023.
He spoke with host Richard Perry about the simplicity (but effectiveness) of traditional Indigenous conflict resolution and its relevance to the search for modern day solutions among First Nations in Canada.
