The protesters were claiming the park occupied a sacred burial ground. (A police officer was later convicted of criminal negligence causing death). In 2023, the remains of two Innu children were exhumed from a Quebec cemetery to help give closure to families who had long-standing questions about the identities of the bodies they buried in 1970. In 2024, Manitoba Grand Chief Cathy Merrick died after suddenly collapsing outside the Winnipeg Law Courts building. She had been speaking with reporters about two court cases when she said she felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said flags at the legislature","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/theturtleislandnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/facebooklogo.jpg","thumbnail_width":725,"thumbnail_height":483}
