Brad Regehr, who is Nehiyaw from Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, was called to the bar in 1997. He is now a partner at Maurice Law in Winnipeg and has spent a good portion of his career working in the area of Aboriginal law, as well as corporate/commercial, civil litigation and administrative law. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Regehr was adopted in what is now commonly known as the Sixties Scoop.
Regehr said he has seen some big changes for Indigenous people in law during his career.
One was the Supreme Court of Canada's 1999 Gladue decision that sentencing judges must take into consideration the influence of things such as residential schools, the Sixties Scoop or child welfare system on Indigenous offenders.
