Indigenous leader tells coroner s inquest community haunted by Joyce Echaquan s death

By The Canadian Press on June 1, 2021. People take part in a protest called ˜Justice for Joyce in Montreal on Oct. 3, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graham Hughes MONTREAL – Indigenous leaders are renewing their calls for the Quebec government to recognize systemic racism in the province’s health-care system. Paul-Émile Ottawa, chief of the Conseil des Atikamekw de Manawan, testified today at the coroner’s inquest into the death of Joyce Echaquan and said her passing has left an open wound in the community, located about 250 kilometres north of Montreal. Ottawa’s recommendations include having doctors and other health-care staff trained in school on the realities of the country’s Indigenous peoples, simplifying the hospital complaints process, and recognizing systemic racism.

Opinion: Quebec College of Physicians recognizes Joyce s Principle to curb systemic racism

  MONTREAL Alongside the Atikamekw Nation, the Quebec College of Physicians recognizes Joyce s Principle to curb systemic racism in the health and social services network The Quebec College of Physicians joins its voice to those of the Conseil des Atikamekw de Manawan and the Conseil de la Nation Atikamekw, so that Joyce s Principle receives the recognition it deserves, ensuring that the tragic death of Joyce Echaquan, on September 28, 2020 at the Joliette Hospital, is not in vain. Ms. Echaquan s fate has shocked the people of Quebec. These sad events bear witness to an evil that is still all too present in our society, that of the inequities caused by cultural barriers fuelled by prejudice that Indigenous people, and more broadly, many racialized people, suffer.
