The new year began on the Norway House First Nation in northern Manitoba,
Canada, with the shooting of an aboriginal man Dennis St. Paul by an
officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Aboriginal
communities in Manitoba and throughout Canada are demanding a public
inquiry into the RCMP shooting death, which also has many aboriginal
community activists reflecting on the long history of documented police
brutality against aboriginal people at the hands of the RCMP. FSRN's
Stefan Christoff reports from Montreal.
