Summer Student Series 2023: Josie Slaughter

This summer, I had the incredible privilege of interning at East Coast Environmental Law, an organization dedicated to environmental advocacy and policy in Atlantic Canada. As a Mi’kmaw person, this unique opportunity allowed me to immerse myself in the intricacies of environmental law and policy specific to Mi'kma'ki. Throughout my internship, I engaged in a wide range of activities, from conducting legal research on environmental laws in New Zealand to supporting projects focused on Indigenous law revitalization, all while gaining invaluable practical skills and knowledge.
