Keyohwhuduchun

HerStory

She inherited the title from her mother, Sally A'Huille. As a dedicated leader, Petra has been instrumental in advocating for the rights and cultural heritage of her community. She has played a crucial role in defending aboriginal rights and title, particularly in light of significant legal decisions such as Haida, Taku River Tlingit, Mikisew Cree, and Delgamuukw.

Petra's leadership extends to managing the Maiyoo Keyoh territory, where she oversees consultation and accommodation on proposed developments. She makes decisions with recommendations from the Board of Directors of the Maiyoo Keyoh Society and her nadneke or general membership of the Keyoh. Her efforts have been recognized in various initiatives, including the successful repatriation of a 200-year-old headdress that belonged to her great-great-grandfather, George A'Huille. The headdress is a physical symbol of land management authority.

The Keyoh system of land management is part of Dakelh law. Petra's dedication to her community and her visionary approach have earned her respect and recognition within and beyond her community. Her work continues to inspire and empower future generations.
