Justice Canada – Indigenous Justice Strategy

  • Home
  • Justice Canada – Indigenous Justice Strategy

Project Overview

  • Client: Justice Canada
  • Project Location: Canada-wide
  • Start Date: Ongoing (Initial phase completed)
  • End Date: 2023

The Indigenous Justice Strategy (IJS) is a national initiative by Justice Canada, aimed at addressing systemic discrimination and overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in the criminal justice system. Indigenous people in Canada continue to experience higher rates of incarceration, and addressing these disparities requires a collaborative, community-driven approach.

Through our sister agency, Kūwiingu-néewul Engagement Services (KES), Three Sisters Consulting was engaged to lead the facilitation, outreach, and reporting efforts necessary to ensure broad participation by Indigenous Nations, organizations, and community members.

Scope of Work & Key Deliverables
  • Engagement Planning: Designed strategies to ensure broad Indigenous participation.
  • Community & Stakeholder Outreach: Facilitated discussions with Indigenous Nations, organizations, and community members.
  • Consultation & Reporting: Collected data and feedback to inform policy development.
Project Outcome
Three Sisters Consulting played a pivotal role in shaping the national Indigenous Justice Strategy, ensuring that Indigenous voices were at the forefront of policy development. Our work has contributed to an evolving justice framework that seeks to reduce Indigenous incarceration rates, enhance community-led justice solutions, and support long-term reconciliation efforts.

Sarah Hopkins

Sarah Hopkins, our Matriarch, is Turtle Clan of the Lenni Lenape who were displaced from their homeland of Lenapehoking (New York City) to Eelŭnaapéewi Lahkéewiit (Delaware Nation) in southwestern Ontario. Sarah is a Day School survivor who was raised by her Mother, who taught her the importance of standing up for what you believe; her Grandmother, a residential school survivor; and her Great-Grandmother, who spoke only Lenape. With the support of her family, Sarah founded Three Sisters Consulting in 2018, a company dedicated to amplifying the voices of Indigenous Peoples and helping them achieve business, professional, and personal success. Sarah is an active member of her community; she served as an Elected member of Council for her Nation, Treasurer and Board Member for her tribal council, and current Board Member for the Canadian Mental Health Association, Lambton Kent chapter. She has worked with not-for-profits, governments, and corporations on a variety of topics including Indigenous legal systems, economic development, mining initiatives, Impact Benefit Assessments, negotiations, and Indigenous engagement impacting legislation. When she is not working, you can find Sarah looking for opportunities to share space with our extended community across Turtle Island.
