Movement Lawyering and the Caring Society Litigation.

This article focuses on the 2016 Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) ruling in *First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada v. Canada*, which found that the Canadian government racially discriminated against First Nations children and families through inequitable funding and delivery of child welfare services. The litigation was part of a broader social movement for First Nations sovereignty in child welfare, supported by the *I am a Witness* campaign—a grassroots, education-focused initiative engaging Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, especially children. The article analyzes the case through the framework of movement lawyering, highlighting three key elements: integrated advocacy combining legal and non-legal strategies; accountability to impacted communities and social movements; and addressing root causes of structural oppression. It concludes that the *Caring Society* litigation and the *I am a Witness* campaign exemplify movement lawyering by situating litigation within a larger ecosystem of social change efforts aimed at achieving durable, transformative justice for First Nations children.
