ELMNT FM’s Take a Lesson...
Jeannette Corbiere Lavell is an Ojibwe activist. Shortly after her marriage to a white man in 1970, Lavell received a letter telling her that
her Indian status had been revoked. She took it to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1973. It was finally overturned in 1985. She has advocated for Indigenous women’s rights at the UN’s Human Rights Committee and Committee to End Sex Discrimination. Her quest is featured in the Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg.
