The Aboriginal Commission on Human Rights and Justice (ACHR&J) advocates for Aboriginal people in Alberta, researches human rights issues and initiates public education about human rights from the unique legal and historic position and relationship of Aboriginal people in Canada.
Our goal is to provide support, research, and analysis to prevent and/or intervene on crimes against Aboriginal people as well as to advocate for positive race relations.
