The primary objective of YÉN:TENE is to improve access to justice for Indigenous people in Hamilton and surrounding communities.
In 2013 we started a collaborative journey with Indigenous agencies and networks to build relationships of respect and trust. We are committed to providing culturally respectful and appropriate legal services to Indigenous clients.
The lead for this initiative is Lyndon George, the Clinic’s Indigenous Justice Coordinator. Lyndon is an Ojibway member of the Kettle and Stoney Point First Nations. Please contact Lyndon about our services and to learn more about YÉN:TENE: cell: 289-680-4544; office: 905-527-4572.
A Welcoming Ceremony took place May 15, 2014 at the Celebration of Growth Community Social. We were honoured to be presented with an eagle feather during the Ceremony. It is available, as needed, to those who use our services.
A report reflecting on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), prepared and received by the clinic in 2017, is called A Journey to ReconciliAction – Calls to Action Report. It contains sixteen recommendations on addressing the 2015 Calls to Action in clinic work.
