Sara has earned an LLM (Toronto) which has engaged her in a lifetime study of Indigenous jurisdiction’s important role in legally reconciling Indigenous sovereignty in Canada.

In 2014, Sara was elected Chief of Couchiching First Nation. She returned to law in 2016 and recommitted to Indigenous jurisdiction through cannabis, gaming and tobacco work with First Nations.
