Mylène Larivière

From the beginning of the Inuit customary adoption dossier, Mrs. Larivière, a member of the Inuit party participated actively in the "Working Group on Customary Adoption in Aboriginal Community" set up by the Quebec government and that has made special recommendations in April 2012. She continues to coordinate the work and consultations by the Inuit communities to achieve a full recognition, in facts and rights, the effects of customary adoption as practiced by the Inuit of Nunavik. Indeed, the Makivik Corporation, a non-profit organization representing the beneficiaries of the JBNQA, has become through the years a leading organization in the search for full recognition in the Quebec statutory law of effects of customary rights of indigenous adoption.
