RAVEN (RESPECTING ABORIGINAL VALUES AND ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS)

Our Mission

RAVEN is a non-profit charitable organization that provides financial resources to assist First Nations within Canada in lawfully forcing industrial development to be reconciled with their traditional ways of life, and in a manner that addresses global warming or other ecological sustainability challenges. We are based in Victoria, BC, and have board members from across the country representing our cause. RAVEN is the ONLY organization in Canada doing this work. We are unique in the Canadian landscape, and we have a direct impact on the litigation processes of these important cases. Passionate, dedicated and committed to social change describes the attitude of our board members, staff and volunteers. This is a lean, efficient and hard-working organization that will stretch itself to achieve the goals it set towards realizing their vision for a country that embraces the caretaker values of First Nations and their equitable access to the justice system within a thriving natural habitat.
