About Josh

Josh Boutin's primary area of practice is Aboriginal rights and title litigation, and he is deeply committed to using the law as a tool to empower Indigenous peoples and work toward reconciliation and decolonization. He represented the Quw'utsun Nation in securing recognition of title at Tl'uqtinus village lands and an Aboriginal right to fish, and represented the Cowichan Nation in achieving the same recognition in Cowichan Tribes et al v Canada (Attorney General), 2025 BCSC 1490.
