THUNDER BAY — Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Derek Fox is calling for the immediate implementation of recommendations handed down by the jury in the coroner’s inquest examining the circumstances surrounding the deaths of two Indigenous men while in police custody.
Throughout the 17-day inquest, more than 30 individuals testified, revealing numerous failures on the part of first responders, policies in the Thunder Bay Police Service, the role racism and unconscious bias played in dealing with marginalized individuals, and a lack of services available in the city for those struggling with addictions.
Numerous recommendations also focused on training for first responders, including police and paramedics, which should include a history of colonization and Indigenous culture. “This inquest has been a long and difficult process for the families, friends, and communities of these men,” Fox said. “We recognize their strength, resiliency, and unwavering resolve to uncover the truth behind the loss of their loved ones, and we thank them for attending this inquest for the past four weeks.”
