Shelter of Montreal says racism against Indigenous people is so common at local hospitals that her organization escorts clients to medical visits. “Every time we have to bring someone to a hospital, we escort them, because we know that there will be racist comments toward them,” Nakuset, who uses only one name, said in an interview Wednesday. “We have a form because we anticipate what’s going to happen.” That form, she said, has a checkbox for racist comments because she said they’re so common. On Monday, Joyce Echaquan, an Atikamekw woman, filmed nurses making derogatory comments to her as she lay dying in a hospital bed in Joli-ette, Que., northeast of Montreal. Nakuset said the video reveals the nurses thought they could get away with talking like that. “If Joyce didn’t have a camera, this wouldn’t be a story.” Dr. Alika Lafontaine, an anesthesiologist in Grande Prairie, Alta., who is of Cree and Anishinaabe heritage, said Indigenous people regularly experience discrimination in Canada’s health-care systems. “Patients experience this every single day, to varying degrees,” he said in an interview Wednesday. The Quebec government has promised two investigations into Echaquan’s death, one by the coroner, the other by the regional health centre. And while Dr. Lafontaine said those investigations are important, they won’t solve larger systemic problems because these kinds of racist incidents often don’t get reported, he said. “If we’re really going to fix the system, we have to not just unpack the ra- cial events that happened, but also the reasons why this person would think that it was Ok to act this way,” he said. These experiences lead people to feeling disempowered in medical environments and reduce trust, Lafontaine said. As a result, he said people won’t share information with medical providers and “they may delay going to access treatment, because they need to be really, really sick in order to deal with, kind of, that level of discomfort, or hostility, and that all leads to worse outcomes.” Echaquan’s death took place almost a year to the day after a public inquiry, known as the Viens Commission, released 142 recommendations aimed at improving Indigenous peoples’ access to government services. The commission’s report concluded it is “impossible to deny” that there is systemic racism against Indigenous people in Quebec. While Premier Franfois Legault was quick to denounce the comments made by the nurses in the Joliette hospital as racist, he has maintained that systemic racism doesn’t exist in Quebec. Quebec Indigenous Affairs Minister Sylvie D’Amours said Wednesday in a news release highlighting the one-year anniversary of the Viens Commission’s report, that 51 of those recommendations have been adopted or are in the process of being implemented. But Nakuset said she hasn’t seen any signs that that’s the case. Liberal Opposition Leader Dominique Anglade called D’Amours news release insulting and said it shows she is no longer fit to be a cabinet minister. D’Amours released another statement later Wednesday offering her condolences on behalf of the province to Echaquan’s family and community. — The Canadian Press PAUL CHIASSON / THE CANADIAN PRESS A woman attends a vigil Tuesday in front of the hospital where Joyce Echaquan died in Joliette, Que. •* Métis have no right to run moose hunt: province CAROL SANDERS THE provincial government said Wednesday it does not support a “unilateral declaration” from the Manitoba Metis Federation about running its own moose hunt this fall with its own conservation regulations. The federation said this week that Métis have been left out of any consultation on reopening moose hunting areas and will handle their own conservation efforts. Starting today, it said it will allow a limited harvest of bull moose in designated hunting areas through its own initiative. It will issue a limited number of unique moose tags to Métis hunting parties of no less than four, it said. “The Métis government and the Métis laws of the harvest place a priority on conservation-minded harvesting,” the federation said. It wants to co-operate with the province and noted that in 2011 they mutually agreed to close certain areas to hunting to rebuild the moose population. Two years ago, Manitoba government surveys indicated moose populations in Porcupine Mountain and Duck Mountain were stable, and two per cent of the population, or 60 animals, could be harvested, the Metis federation said. “We are now into the ninth year of closures and it is time for the harvest to continue in a monitored, responsible, collective manner,” federation president David Chartrand said. “Indigenous Peoples’ rights to harvest for culture and food have constitutional priority over recreation hunters.” Métis’ plans for the moose hunt are being made without legislative authority, enforcement mechanisms or consultation with Indigenous and non-Indigenous harvesters, government press secretary Miranda Dube said Wednesday. The province has a “long history of respectful consultations with First Nation and Métis communities in its role as the Crown ultimately responsible for the sustainable management of Manitoba’s wildlife,” she wrote in an email. Chartrand and Premier Brian Pallister, however, have had a fractious relationship, especially regarding the moose hunt. In 2017, Pallister said a ban on night hunting might ignite a “race war.” Dube said results from a big game aerial survey this year were shared with First Nation and Métis communities and non-Indigenous harvesters affected by conservation closures. Their feedback was sought. “Despite these conservation closures, moose populations have not recovered in these areas as quickly as initially anticipated,” she said. The province is allowing a limited harvest that won’t hurt the long-term moose population recovery, she said. Manitoba is contacting eligible communities and organizations for the interim fall moose hunt, she said. carol.sanders@freepress.mb.ca antor NEW CITY WIDE DELIVERY $9.95 WITH MINIMUM $65.00 ORDER 1445 LOGAN AVE. phone: 204-774-1679 or 1 -800-874-7770 Prices in Effect October 1-7,2020 1 THU 2 FRI 3 SAT 5 MON 6 TUE 7 WED IN BUSINESS SINCE 1943 HOURS: Monday- Saturday 8:00AM - 5:00PM, Closed Sundays WINKLER LEG HAMS WHOLE LEG & & & HALF LEG HAM _ & & & HAM _ $V|49 & & & $V|89 /lb & & & H/lb $9.90/kg & & & $10.78/kg *Logan && Cantor's Express & & & *Logan && Cantor's Express W.O.C.
