A person who did something very important to the unpacking of police brutality in Canada, especially against Indigenous people, died this month.
Darrell Night, of the Nêhiyawak (Plains Cree) nation, died at age 56. In 2000, Saskatoon police took him on a "starlight tour" in freezing winter, to drop him off outside of town: a practice that had killed Indigenous men before.
Night told his story, yielding a critical exposé.
May we all have such courage.
