 About Me |
Tansi! My name is Danika Billie, I am Cree from Ermineskin Cree Nation in Hobbema AB. I am a practicing lawyer, and lived and worked on my reserve for 6 years, up until this past September. That is when I moved to Victoria BC to start a Masters in Law - my thesis is going to be about Indigenous Peoples and Water - Governance, Management and Access.
My practice is on hold for now, but here is a brief description: I worked mainly with an Indigenous client base on issues of governance and corporate law. I also volunteered with various other Alberta organizations including: the Northern Alberta Alliance on Race Relations and the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women.
I have chosed to continue to work with the following organizations while doing my Masters: Learning Through the Arts (an arts education organization housed at the Royal Conservatory of Music) and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO (where I am Chair of the Sectoral Commission on Culture, Communication and Information).
I have an interest in international law. For a number of years (until I passed the age of "youth") I did a lot of work with Indigenous youth in varied initiatives and organizations. I am interested in maintaining a role as a resource for Indigenous and Canadian Youth generally.
In terms of my personal interests, I love music and played the violin for a number of years. I also love to sing, and had the awesome chance to do some of the back-up for War Party on two of their more recent albums.
Hai Hai!
