This article informs that Andrew Jackson has become the first Native spirituality correctional services Elder in Canadian history to be issued a clergy license by the government. The recognition places Native spiritual Elders on the same level as Roman Catholic priests, Protestant ministers and Jewish rabbis. Jackson's license allows him to perform marriages, burials, memorials and christenings. Jackson also conducts memorial services inside the facility for the inmates, so this means if an inmate has a death in the family and they are prohibited from attending services on the outside, Jackson will perform a service in the chapel at the centre.
