Jacquelyn Miller (she/her) is a settler of northwestern European descent who has lived all but three years of her life in Coast Salish territories in southwest British Columbia. She practices Aboriginal law at Cascadia Legal LLP in Victoria, BC. She is a graduate of the first cohort of the University of Victoria’s joint common law and Indigenous law degree program. She has a master of arts degree in political science and cultural, social and political thought from the University of Victoria and a bachelor of arts degree with a major in political science and a minor in philosophy from Simon Fraser University. She currently serves as the chair of the Women Lawyers Forum Vancouver Island section for the Canadian Bar Association BC branch and as secretary for the Victoria Bar Association. She, Kilslay Kaaji Sding Miles Richardson, and Nancy J.

Richard Overstall is a lawyer with a particular interest in Indigenous, environmental, and land use law.  He has previously worked as a mining geologist, and then as a researcher for a number of public-interest and Aboriginal organisations, including coordinating the expert opinion evidence for the Indigenous plaintiffs in the Delgamuukw title trial.  He has developed the trust as a legal device for parties to cooperatively and impartially monitor whether the goals they negotiated in land-use plans are being achieved.  Richard has published and presented in a number of legal research areas, including Indigenous law and history, criminal evidence, human rights, and monitoring trusts. He is presently co-counsel in a climate case for two plaintiff Wet’suwet’en House groups, of which Dsta’hyl is a member.
