Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“The Executive Director reviews the Form 990 prior to signing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“At all regular board meetings, members are asked if there could be any conflict arising during discussion of issues. RAVEN operates on an honour system. However should it become clear that someone was in conflict, the Board is prepared to call a special meeting to deal with the situation. The conflict policy states that board members shall "arrange their private affairs in a manner that will prevent real, potential or perceived conflicts of interest arising, but if such conflict arises between the private interests of the member and the official duties and responsibilities of that member to RAVEN, the conflict shall be resolved in favour of RAVEN".”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“R.A.V.E.N. makes its governing documents, financial statements, and other pertinent information available on its website located at: www.raventrust.com (Under the "About" section)”

IRS990/Desc0BEAVER LAKE CREE NATION (BLCN):Beaver Lake Cree Nation went to the Supreme Court of Canada to argue for an Advanced Cost Order, which received a favourable decision in 2022 and set a precedent for access to justice for 'impecunious' Nations who are bringing cases of national importance. Now, Beaver Lake Cree Nation are anxiously awaiting the King's Bench of Alberta to make a decision as to how much funding they will receive for their case. Meanwhile, the legal team prepared community members to be cross-examined by Alberta and Canada in November 2023. They also cross-examined members of the Albertan and Canadian governments to be used as evidence for trial, which is scheduled to occur in March 2026. Overall, RAVEN's fundraising efforts have played a pivotal role in sustaining and expanding programs. RAVEN is pleased to report that, through various events, campaigns, and individual contributions, RAVEN was able to raise over $5 Million in the past year. RAVEN is honoured to have been the recipient of a transformative $2 million donation from Kraczcywk Family Foundation in the later part of 2023. It is a validation of years of dedicated work by Indigenous leaders and supporters who have shared the vision of environmental justice for Indigenous communities.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0HEILTSUK NATION:In addition to continuing to prepare arguments and gather evidence for their Title challenge following the Nathan E. Stewart oil spill, Heiltsuk Nation intervened in Saugeen Ojibway's case. RAVEN provided $20,000 in funding from the Intervener Fund for Heiltsuk's Intervention in the Saugeen Ojibway Nation case at the Ontario Court of Appeal in May 2023. Following Heiltsuk's oral submission, Canada reversed its position and agreed that Aboriginal title to lands beneath navigable waters is legally recognizable. Canada's new position, as a result of Heiltsuk's intervention, saves decades of litigation and millions of dollars worth of legal fees for this type of declaration, which opens a door for Indigenous Nations to claim submerged lands to protect their oceans and rivers - an outcome that will have a significant impact on Heiltsuk's own legal challenge, for which they are still waiting for a hearing date.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0GITXAALA:Gitxaala Nation went to court in April 2023, with a favourable decision in their Mineral Tenure Act challenge in September 2023. The victory marked a transformative moment for B.C.'s mineral rights regime as B.C. was given 18 months to create a process to consult First Nations when anyone - be it a corporation or an individual 'free miner' - applies for a mineral tenure in their territory. The case created a legal precedent, starting an overhaul of B.C.'s online mineral tenure system that, once completed, will give over 200 First Nations more say over how and where their lands are used for mining, protecting culturally significant areas and providing consensual economic opportunities for remote Indigenous communities. Throughout the legal challenge, RAVEN provided financial support to four groups of Intervenors in Gitxaaa's case.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc01. Breathing Lands (Expenses - $134,942): The names given to the vast peatlands of Ontario's north are "Yehewin Aski and "Bakitanaamowin Aki", meaning the Breathing Lands. It's an incredibly powerful evocation of the life-giving role of a vital ecosystem that has sustained Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial. Successive settler governments have run roughshod over Indigenous Peoples' Treaty No. 9 rights for over a century. A coalition of several Nations are taking Ontario and Canada to court to press for co-jurisdiction in Treaty No. 9 territory, giving them greater decision-making power over resource extraction projects on their lands. 2. GRASSY NARROWS (Expenses - $89,856): Grassy Narrows First Nation is taking Canada and Ontario to court over the mercury contamination of their life-giving river in northern Ontario. The lawsuit is based on the governments' failure to act in a way that upholds Treaty 3: this includes protecting Grassy Narrows' right to fish, hunt, and practice their culture while restoring their Anishinaabe way of life and wellbeing. 3. NESKANTAGA - RING OF FIRE (Expenses - $73,260)Background: Neskantaga First Nation is challenging the Ontario government in court for failing to fulfill its duty to consult on the main north-south mining road being built to the "Ring of Fire". This major industrial access road will fragment intact boreal ecosystems and bisect Neskantaga territory. This will have enormous repercussions on the Neskantaga rights to hunt, fish and perform traditional cultural activities on their land and waters. Updates: On October 20, 2023, a judge in Ontario Superior Court dismissed the application from Neskantanga First Nation, challenging the Ontario government for failing to fulfill its duty to consult adn accommodate. Neskantaga are back where they started, facing potentially unprecedented changes in their community without having meaningfully participated in the decision-making process. 4. INTERVENOR FUND (Expenses - $30,087)In 2022 RAVEN launched a new "Intervenor Fund" to allow Nations and Indigenous organizations to participate in and influence litigation without bearing the full cost of legal challenges. 5. FESTIVAL AFLOAT (Expenses - $49,329): Through Festival Afloat: the Salish Sea Tour, RAVEN explored new ways to meet the RAVEN community and fundraise across the Salish Sea. 6. OTHER PROGRAMS (Expenses - $46,747)RAVEN continued to work on smaller legal projects with various indigenous nations.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1At all regular board meetings, members are asked if there could be any conflict arising during discussion of issues. RAVEN operates on an honour system. However should it become clear that someone was in conflict, the Board is prepared to call a special meeting to deal with the situation. The conflict policy states that board members shall "arrange their private affairs in a manner that will prevent real, potential or perceived conflicts of interest arising, but if such conflict arises between the private interests of the member and the official duties and responsibilities of that member to RAVEN, the conflict shall be resolved in favour of RAVEN".
