With the passing of Mazina Giizhik (Honourable Murray Sinclair) we grieve the loss of a formidable Anishinaabe warrior who forged ahead with bravery, intelligence, and kindness.
His contributions to our society are almost immeasurable, from being Manitoba’s first Indigenous judge, to his visionary leadership of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Residential Schools, to his service as Senator to name some of the remarkable roles he held as a changemaker.
Our deepest condolences to his family, community, many colleagues and all he touched through his life.
We will honour his legacy by continuing to bring truth to light in our quest to honour the missing children of the Kamloops Indian Residential School.
Yours truly,
Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc
