Crystal Fafard is a partner with Maurice Law Firm and is a member of Yellow Quill First Nation in Treaty 4 Territory and is a well known leader in Economic Development, contributing her skills and knowledge for almost three decades. She received her B. A. (Honours) from the U of S and J.D. law degree from the UBC in 2000. She works exclusively for and with Indigenous communities in the area of economic development/corporate law as her dream has always been to see First Nations succeed and overcome the negative impacts of colonization. While promoting economic development she understands the delicate balance in maintaining a healthy and thriving environment and strongly advocates that Indigenous people press industry to meet or exceed environmental standards to protect future generations.

Crystal sees Indigenous women leading decolonization and future nation building across Turtle Island.
