DON G. MCINTYRE (“RAVEN”)
Don’s parents were Scottish and Algonquin; his father’s family came from Tiree. By his mother, he is Anishinaabe, from the Timiskaming Nation. Don was adopted into the Potlatch by the Dangeli family of the Beaver Clan and was gifted a Blackfoot name by Elder Tom Crane Bear. He spent much of his life working to reconcile the position of Aboriginal populations in Canada.
As a painter in the traditional style of his territories, Don juxtaposes contemporary visions and themes into works for a broader, general audience and incorporates them into his teaching. Working with the Nisga’a, he has provided opportunities to be part of the creation team making totem poles, ocean canoes, and other projects.
Don worked for a large international law firm in corporate litigation, and eventually ran his own law corporation practice focusing on the areas of Aboriginal law and governance, intellectual property, and art law. He has spoken at public schools, colleges, universities, Indigenous nations, and communities around the world in the areas of law, socio-legal pluralism, art and tradition, colonization, Indigenous trans-systemics, social innovation, justice systems, Native American studies, negotiations, and treaty.
Don taught in the Native American Studies department at the University of Lethbridge before moving to the Dhillon Business School in the Faculty of Management as assistant professor in Indigenous governance and business management. Previously he was faculty lead for several programs at The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in the Aboriginal Leadership and Management Development program. Don holds a bachelor and master of laws degree from UBC Law School and an ABD on his PhD in laws looking at Indigenous trans-systemics, property, and the abilities of Indigenous socio-legal practices to enhance and improve Western legal paradigms.
