About Our Firm

Munnings Law provides services across Turtle Island (North America) to Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients. Our clients are Indigenous Governments and Businesses, Private Businesses and Entrepreneurs and Non-Profits.

We strive to develop a firm culture rooted in the Anishnaabe values of: wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility and truth. These values, known as the Seven Grandfathers, create a culture based on striving to be a good person. In addition to these teachings, we work to encircle our practice with Seven Generation Thinking – decision making based on the effects today’s decisions will have on future generations.

Our Mission

We strive to provide our clients with personalized, honest and practical legal advice with a view toward the future, always learning from the past.

We take pride in creating relationships with our clients based on trust and honesty and being available to our clients to provide advice promptly.

Community Involvement

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.
