About this Event

The Centre for Constitutional Studies is pleased to welcome Caleb Behn from West Moberly First Nation for a lecture titled "Killing Law Quietly: The Battles over UNDRIP Implementation."

This event will be held at 12:00PM in McLennan Ross Hall (Room 231/237) of the Law Centre.

Speaker Bio:

Caleb Z. Behn (he/him - il/lui) is Eh-Cho Dene and Dunne-Za from Treaty 8 territory in northeastern British Columbia. A lawyer by training (UVic Law, Environmental Law and Sustainability; called to the BC Bar in 2015), his work sits at the intersection of water, energy, and Indigenous law.

He is currently the Lands Manager for West Moberly First Nations. Previously, Caleb spent six years in Ottawa as Special Advisor on Water to the Assembly of First Nations, Legal Policy Advisor to National Chief Perry Bellegarde, and later as Director of the Rights Sector at AFN. He has also served as Senior Researcher at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, was a founding member of the Decolonizing Water Research Collective, and is the subject of the documentary film Fractured Land.

Now back in his mother’s home community, Caleb continues to hunt, fish, and harvest in Treaty 8, while supporting Elders and advancing projects at the interface of Indigenous law, academic research and technology, most recently with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School and as a founding Advisory Board Member of the Indigenous Research Support Initiative at the University of British Columbia.
