Janice Makokis
BA, MA, LLB
We wanted to send a huge Congratulations to Janice Makokis for receiving the FAAY Bursary and getting accepted to do her Internship with the Osgoode Hall Law School’s Intensive Program in Aboriginal Lands, Governments and Resources. She was fortunate to be placed at the “International Indigenous Women’s Forum” in New York City. It is closely affiliated with the “United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)”. She will assist in the coordination of various activities related to: the Beijing 15 conference in March on Violence Against Women (An International Women’s Conference) and also prepare for the April UNPFII Forum Meeting (where Indigenous nations/peoples from all over the world will convene in NYC to discuss issues related to governance, law, self-determination, women’s rights, land, etc. in their respective countries).
