| Abstract: | It has been ten years since Brian Sinclair died in the waiting room of Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre ER. In that time, Sinclair's family and the Indigenous community in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Canada have worked to ensure that his death would not be forgotten and have fought for necessary reforms. The inquest into Sinclair's death is evidence of their advocacy and persistence and also of the limits of these sorts of inquiries. As in the inquests into the deaths of two young Anishinaabeg men in Kashechewan studied by Carmela Murdocca, we might read the inquest into Brian Sinclair's death as a moment when the colonial state strains "to find ways to capture evidence and demarcate the boundaries of legal, governmental and political responsibility and failure." |
