In this episode we discuss the life and death of Tina Fontaine, a young indigenous girl whose life was marked by trauma, and systemic failures. Tina’s story is reflective of the shortcomings of the child welfare system and the pervasive issues facing indigenous women and girls in Canada. We honor her memory by calling attention to the urgent need for change and justice.
