Description
Jenna Joyce Broomfield (J.J. Broomfield) is an Inuk born and raised in North West River, Nunatsiavut/Labrador. Jenna first moved to Treaty 6 Territory for University and graduated with a degree in Native Studies and a Certificate in Aboriginal Governance. Jenna was inspired to enter law as a means of contributing back to Indigenous communities. After graduating from the University of Alberta, Jenna originally focused on Aboriginal law and Civil Litigation. Jenna is called to the Bar in Alberta and Nunavut and now practices Civil Litigation, Class Actions and Criminal Law with a primary focus on northern files. Although there is rarely “spare time”, Jenna is still a managing member/volunteer of Inuit Edmontonmiut Working Group because the work focuses efforts on connecting with Inuit living in the south. Jenna loves to spend time with family, throat sing, learn Inuttitut, Español and Nêhiyawêwin, read works by Indigenous authors and often acquires too many books with the intention of eventually reading them. Jenna is passionate about Indigenous fashion, creating badass outfits and loves to find Indigenous-made jewelry from around the world to accessorize but especially those pieces made by Inuit, First Nations and Métis artists.
