The Honourable Marion Ruth Buller, C.M.
Anmore, British Columbia
A member of the Mistawasis Nehiyawak, a Cree First Nation, Marion Buller has had a distinguished legal career as the first female First Nations judge appointed to a British Columbia court. She has made invaluable contributions to restorative justice and to the creation of the province’s Indigenous Courts, which allow for traditional practices that reflect the local communities they serve.
