    2025/09/30

    10 years after the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, three members of the family of the late Murray Sinclair, the chair of the commission, reflect on his legacy.

    Stephanie and Sara Sinclair are the co-editors of two new collections of writing, "A Steady Brightness of Being" and "You Were Made for this World." They talk about their own family history, and the importance of sharing stories, knowledge and culture — as a path to a better future. And Niigaan Sinclair, Murray's son, and columnist and university professor, reflects on his Dad's lessons of love, and the time he spent at his father's bedside before he died.

  • A custody battle that became a landmark case: Racine v Woods
    2025/09/29

    It was a court battle that made headlines. In the early 1980's an Indigenous mother fought to get her child back from the foster family that had looked after her from the time she was an infant. Her birth mother went all the way to Ottawa, to the Supreme Court of Canada, and in a landmark decision, the judge ruled that it was in the best interest of the child to stay with the foster family. It was a decision that would change the life of the little girl at the centre of the battle, Leticia Racine, and impact child welfare cases involving Indigenous children for years to come. We speak with Racine today, about her tumultuous life, and her journey back to her First Nation and her Indigenous culture.
