Indigenous Victim Services
Indigenous Victims Services (IVS) helps individuals who have been hurt by a crime or other social tragedy. While parallel to mainstream victim services, IVS also provides victim-witness assistance programming (court support) as well as victim quick response plus short-term financial support for damages. Indigenous Victim Services assists and advocates for Indigenous victims who are either living in Brantford, Hamilton, or the Six Nations community.
Who We Are
Six Nations Justice is a non-profit organization guided by Haudenosaunee Legal Principles. We provide support to victims and those accused of a crime in Brantford, Cayuga, Hamilton, and Six Nations Reserve. Our services are free of charge and are specifically targeted to assist Indigenous Peoples navigating the legal system.
