First Peoples Law January 29 – February 4, 2025 – First Peoples Law

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Kwakwaka’wakw hereditary chief Hemas Kla-Lee-Lee-Kla (Bill Wilson) last week. In 1973, Wilson was one of the first Indigenous people to graduate from law school in BC. Throughout his life and career, Wilson was a tireless champion for Indigenous rights. Our condolences are with his family at this time.
