DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion: Native Women in the Canadian Prison Industria
 l Complex\n	With guest speakers: Sheri Pranteau\, Alana Boileau\, and Danie
 lle Linnen\n\nCo-sponsored by RadLaw McGill\n\nAlthough Native women make 
 up just 4-5% of the Canadian population\, they now make up more than 35% o
 f the population of women in Canadian prisons\, and the number is on the r
 ise. The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) says that poverty-rel
 ated crimes are becoming life sentences for Native women. Come discuss sys
 temic racism in our legal system and the ways in which it feeds the proble
 m.\n\nDanielle Linnen first started practicing international environmental
  and Aboriginal law at the United Nations Environment Programme. She later
  joined Dionne Schulze law firm to focus her practice on Canadian Aborigin
 al law\, mainly involving administrative\, environmental and constitutiona
 l law. Danielle has also been involved in specific claims files before the
  Specific Claims Tribunal and represents former residential school student
 s from several communities in Quebec.\n\nAlana Boileau is the justice and 
 public security coordinator for the Quebec Native Women’s association. As 
 a Québécoise\, Alana is interested in helping non Aboriginal people in the
  province to unlearn some of the harmful stereotypes they believe to be tr
 ue about their own history. Today\, Alana’s work focuses around the issue 
 of missing and murdered Indigenous women. She is currently coordinating a 
 study to help grasp the situation in Quebec\, and is also collaborating wi
 th a group of Aboriginal people working in Montreal as well as the Montrea
 l police to create a missing and murdered Indigenous women’s protocol whic
 h will hopefully assist in ensuring that no other Indigenous family in Que
 bec has to experience the turmoil that too many have already gone through.
 \n\nSheri Pranteau is a 37 year old native woman\, mother and partner who 
 was convicted of Manslaughter and Robbery-Use of a firearm in 1999. She se
 rved 17 years in prison. She has been out on parole for the past 5 years.
