A First Nation in the Canadian province of Quebec is calling on the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to come to Canada to investigate systemic racism in government services. In a letter on Monday, leaders in Atikamekw of Manawan, a community about 250 kilometres (155 miles) north of Montreal, asked Francisco Cali Tzay to pressure Canada to guarantee equitable access to healthcare and other social services for Indigenous peoples. The letter, released on International Women’s Day, comes months after the death of Joyce Echaquan, an Atikamekw mother of seven who died in a Quebec hospital in September after she filmed staff making racist comments towards her.
