Myrna McCallum


Myrna McCallum is a Métis lawyer from the northern village of Green Lake in Treaty Six territory whose work is reshaping how the legal profession understands justice, humanity, and responsibility. As a speaker, educator, and host of The Trauma-Informed Lawyer podcast, she invites legal professionals to slow down, listen with intention, and recognize the human beings at the centre of every legal process.

Through educational events like LoveBack: An Indigenous Only Professional Development Retreat, the Transform Your Practice Leadership Retreat, the Trauma-Informed Justice Course, the Indigenous Liberation & Racial Justice Program, and the Justice as Trauma Summit, McCallum has cultivated spaces where judges, lawyers, leaders, educators, policy-makers, and Indigenous professionals can reflect, unlearn, and approach their roles with deeper humility and care.

Myrna’s work bridges Indigenous worldviews with contemporary practices, demonstrating that leadership, justice and healing can be both accountable and compassionate when grounded in relationships, responsibility, and shared humanity.

She is currently writing her first solo book and lives in North Vancouver.

Mission Statement

“My mission is to transform justice through trauma-informed, racially just and culturally responsive leadership, Indigenous wisdom, and deep collective healing. I am committed to creating brave, restorative spaces—whether in courtrooms, classrooms, or retreat settings—where frontline professionals, lawyers, leaders, justice workers, and Indigenous communities can reconnect with their purpose, recover from systemic harm, and reimagine a world rooted in empathy, dignity, and liberation. Through public speaking, education, storytelling, and immersive experiences, I aim to ignite a global movement that honours truth, reimagines justice, and helps to heal intergenerational & institutional wounds.”

Canadian Law, Indigenous Laws and Critical Perspectives published by CanLII as a Criminal Law Open Access eBook and Trauma-Informed Law: a Primer for Lawyer Resilience and Healing published by the American Bar Association.
