Joyce Echaquan was a mother, a voice of courage, and a symbol of change. Her tragic death in a Quebec hospital exposed systemic racism and sparked a national reckoning. In her final moments, she demanded dignity—and in doing so, inspired Joyce’s Principle, a call for equitable, culturally safe healthcare for Indigenous peoples.

Her legacy lives on in the fight for justice. May her spirit guide us toward healing and justice.

RIP Brian Sinclair 🙏🏽

On September 19 of 2008, 45 year old Brian Sinclair an indigenous double amuptee man who was in a wheel chair arrived at the ER Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre (hospital) in Winnipeg Manitoba to have his blocked catheter replaced & not urinating for 24 hours prior.

At 3pm, he arrived with a note to inform the medical workers what needed to be done, that piece of paper was never found.

At 1am on September 20 of 2008, after waiting 10 hours, other patients were addressing the medical staff to attend to Brian because he had vomited several times, but they said they were attending other patients.

After 34 hours on September 21 of 2008, Brian then passed away in the waiting room.

The medical staff assumed he was intoxicated & had been discharged already.

He was discriminated & stereotyped.

Brian Sinclair had lost both of this legs due to frost bite & also volunteered at the Siloam Mission to help out.

This is a case I think about since this had happened & why I do the work I do, because this is the reality of an indigenous person in so called Canada.
