Fostering Connections: MILSA’s “In Good Relations” Event Strengthens Community Within Manitoba’s Indigenous Bar

December 9, 2024 — 
On November 21, 2024, the Manitoba Indigenous Law Students Association (MILSA), in partnership with the Manitoba Bar Association’s newly established Indigenous Lawyers Forum, hosted the inaugural “In Good Relations” networking event at Migizii Agamik (“the Bald Eagle Lodge”) on the University of Manitoba campus. Julianna Albert, a 2L student, translated “In Good Relations” into Cree as “kâkînaw mino omâkiinak,” noting that the name “beautifully captures the essence of the event.” Designed as an informal and welcoming gathering, the event aimed to foster meaningful connections between Indigenous law students, practicing lawyers, and articling students.
