Jeannette Corbiere Lavell & Dr. Dawn Memee Lavell-Harvard, director of the FPHL, a mother-daughter duo of human rights advocates.

In 1970, two weeks after her wedding, Jeanette Corbiere Lavell received a letter from the Canadian government informing her that due to her marrying a non-Indigenous person she was no longer legally considered an Indigenous person.

This letter stripped Jeanette’s legal Indigenous status and attempted to disconnect her from her heritage and community.

The legal battle that followed would eventually make its way to the Supreme Court and pave the way for critical changes for Indigenous women in Canada.
