Jody Wilson-Raybould, also known by her Kwak’wala name Puglaas, is a lawyer, advocate, and a proud Indigenous Canadian. She was British Columbia Regional Chief from 2009 to 2015 and minister of justice and attorney general of Canada from 2015 to 2019. Throughout her career she has built a strong reputation as a bridge builder between communities and a champion of Indigenous rights, good governance, and accountability. Prior to entering politics, she was a provincial Crown prosecutor in Vancouver and later served as an adviser at the BC Treaty Commission, a body established to oversee complex treaty negotiations between First Nations and the Crown. In 2004, she was elected as commissioner by the Chiefs of the First Nations Summit. She is a descendant of the Musgamagw Tsawataineuk and Laich-Kwil-Tach peoples, which are part of the Kwakwaka'wakw or Kwak’wala-speaking peoples. She is a member of the We Wai Kai Nation. Her traditional name, Puglaas, means “woman born to noble people,” and she is a Hiligaxste,’ “one who corrects the Chief’s path.”
