About Brooks

Brooks Arcand-Paul knows what it takes to support his community. Known by the nehiyaw name sîpîysis (Little River), has been the MLA for Edmonton-West Henday since 2023 and serves as the Shadow Minister for Indigenous Relations. A proud nehiyaw (cree) leader and the first Two Spirit MLA elected in Alberta, Brooks brings a strong sense of cultural responsibility and community advocacy to his role. Raised on Alexander First Nation as a direct descendent of catchistahwayskum, a nehiyaw leader who adhered to Treaty 6, he is deeply committed to strengthening public education, protecting accessible healthcare and supporting strong and enduring treaty relationships grounded in shared responsibility.

Before being elected, Brooks served as legal counsel for Alexander First Nation, helping guide the Nation’s legal affairs. Brooks is a litigator who practiced Indigenous, employment, and commercial law. He contributed extensively to the Indigenous Bar Association, including serving as vice president.
