‘He lit a fire’: Honouring the legacy of Murray Sinclair – Ricochet Media

Wearing matching orange “Every Child Matters” shirts, Louise Menow and her three children waited in a line outside of the Canada Life Centre in “Winnipeg” on Sunday.

Along with more than a thousand others, they came to honour beloved leader Mazina Giizhik-iban, widely known as Murray Sinclair, during a public memorial service.

“I’m getting chills already thinking about it,” said Menow, who is originally from Norway House Cree Nation. Her mother attended the Portage La Prairie Indian Residential School.
