Recommendation 48:
Encourage the creation of regional, or circuit, human rights clinics to both educate and assist Indigenous Peoples in filing and carrying through human rights claims. Explore options for clinics or workshops that operate regionally over time so lawyers can stick with a case, including potentially working with the three BC law schools. Clinics should be led by leading Indigenous counsel and provide representation to Indigenous Peoples, individually and collectively.

Contribute funding and effort for a detailed needs study to inform the development of:
- Programs and grants to build capacity, support skills development in Indigenous heritage professionals, and support infrastructure development for the caretaking of cultural objects and intellectual property;
- Training programs for Indigenous People interested in heritage work. This could be done in partnership with universities and colleges, or museums through coursework and internships in Indigenous communities and organizations;
- Exchange programs for Indigenous heritage professionals to learn about international best practices and share approaches and methods with international Indigenous organizations and institutions doing ground-breaking work to protect and revitalize Indigenous cultural heritage;
- Mentorship programs partnering experienced Indigenous heritage professionals from museums, universities, or other well-resourced institutions, with those more junior; and
- Awards or campaigns to recognize and celebrate leaders in Indigenous cultural heritage work. This could attract more Indigenous People to the field by putting a public face on Indigenous People leading heritage protection work and normalize and publicize Indigenous leadership in heritage work to the broader public.
