In Memory of Murray Sinclair

I hope you have been able to hear the many tributes to this amazing Anishinaabe statesman, especially his memorial on the CBC on Sunday, Nov. 10th. Rarely are we blessed with such wisdom, sincerity and kindness from our leaders. When he spoke, you knew you would be hearing gems that would touch both your heart and your mind. I look forward to reading his recently published book: Who We Are: Four Questions for a Life and a Nation, available from the public library. The first time I heard him speak in person, almost a decade ago, he posed those four questions:  Where do I come from? Where am I going?  Why am I here?  Who are we?  His death is a great loss to the cause of justice in Canada but fortunately he leaves us with his greatest legacy: The Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. His memorial was a celebration not only of his life, but also of indigeneity across this entire country.
