Rainbow Eyes
Rainbow Eyez
Deputy Leader
Hearing the call of the forest and following instructions from Elders of the territories, ancestors and spirit, Angela Davidson, known as Rainbow Eyes, has been a key defender of ancient forests on Vancouver Island, including the old growth forests of ‘Ada’itsx (Fairy Creek), since 2020.
A graduate of Vancouver Island University’s First Nations Stewardship Technical Training program, Angela has spent years safeguarding lands, waters, and cultural values for future generations. She’s also worked to train future guardians and decolonize Indigenous-led stewardship programs.
A cancer survivor and passionate advocate, Angela has been a vital advocate in the Fairy Creek blockade, facing arrest and 60 days of jail time to protect old growth forests from logging and deforestation at the Fairy Creek watershed.
Now, as Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Canada, proudly embracing the more culturally respectful title of Ooh-mah Ah-nise (high ranking woman, Aunty in Kwakʼwala), Angela brings bold, uncompromising leadership to the fight for a sustainable and just future.

The GPC’s Shadow Cabinet advises the Co-Leaders on policy development, ensuring positions are holistic, well-researched, and aligned with Green values and member-approved policies.
