Harold Gatensby

Tlingit

Harold Gatensby and his brother Phil have been instrumental to the introduction of Circles in the justice system in their efforts to transform the relationship between the justice system and their own Tlingit community. As formerly incarcerated residential school survivors, Phil and Harold have spent their lives working to return power to communities and dismantle the carceral system. Over 40 years, they have done extensive work in indigenous and multi-racial communities and in multiple sectors in Canada, the US, and Europe. Harold also serves on the Board of Gathering Power.
