Sahwoo mohkaak tsi ma taas is an Indigenous focused support program whose goals are to increase access to justice for Indigenous peoples.  Helping people understand how to use the legal system to reach their goals, providing collaborative legal services within the context of Indigenous culture and connecting individuals to culture in ways that support healing and wellbeing throughout an individual’s journey within the justice system.  

Inii Moyis (“Buffalo Lodge”) Cultural Room at Calgary Legal Guidance

On September 16, 2022, Calgary Legal Guidance was gifted a blessing and name of our Indigenous Cultural Room at our downtown office location by Elder Casey Eagle Speaker. Inii Moyis is a space for clients, volunteers and staff to reflect upon the story of the Buffalo and to find our strength to get through difficult challenges.
