Families lack confidence in new probe into Indigenous deaths in Thunder Bay
The Thunder Bay official crest on a fountain at City Hall. The image celebrates the city’s first industry. Starting in the 17th century, merchants seeking beaver pelts travelled up the St. Lawrence River and through the Great Lakes and their tributaries to what is now Thunder Bay. They took the trip in huge 36-foot canoes made of birch bark with payloads of 6,000 pounds. The boats were paddled by French-Canadian and Indigenous voyageurs who faced bad pay, gruelling hours, and constant danger. A Scottish fur baron, known as a bourgeois, sat in the middle. He didn’t paddle. July 23. 2019 (Melissa Tait / The Globe and Mail)
