THUNDER BAY — Curve Lake First Nation’s Raina McCue stressed the importance of the Lakehead University Bora Laskin Faculty of Law’s mandatory courses on Indigenous legal issues after graduating on May 15 in Thunder Bay. The Bora Laskin Faculty of Law has a mandatory semester course, Indigenous Law, in the first year and a mandatory full-year course, Aboriginal Law, in the second year.
“It’s an honour to graduate from here and it was such a special privilege to go to this school because of the Indigenous aspect — that’s why I came here,” McCue says. “So many of my classmates learned so much that they didn’t come in with previous experience of, so it was a nice way to raise awareness. It’s nice to have a new generation of people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, who are able to make that change and help us.”
