Family wonders if stereotypes delayed investigation of Aboriginal mother’s death
A letter obtained by CBC’s iTeam shows there was a 60-hour gap between the time Nadine Machiskinic was found fatally injured at the bottom of a laundry chute at Regina’s Delta Hotel, and when police were called in to investigate.
Machiskinic’s aunt believes she may have been thrown down that chute and she said the delay is unacceptable.
“That’s my biggest issue,” said Delores Stevenson, Machiskinic’s aunt. “The hours after her death should have been the most crucial part of the investigation but that wasn’t the case for her.”
