  • DARLENE ROSE OWENS, Deceased
    Release Date: May 11, 2009 IN THE PROVINCIAL COURT OF MANITOBA IN THE MATTER OF: THE FATALITY INQUIRIES ACT AND IN THE MATTER OF: DARLENE ROSE OWENS, Deceased APPEARANCES: Counsel to the Inquest: Ms Deann Sahulka For the Federal Government: Mr. Kevin Staska The Fatality Inquiries Act Report by Provincial Judge on Inquest Respecting the death of: DARLENE ROSE OWENS An Inquest respecting the said death having been held by me on September 3rd and 8th, 2008 at Pauingassi First Nation, Manitoba, and on September 9th and November 7th, 2008 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I hereby report as follows: The name of the deceased is Darlene Rose Owens. At the time of her death, Darlene Owens was 23 years old and living at Pauingassi First Nation. On the night of October 19, 2005 Ms Owens, having consumed alcohol, went to a residence where her father was staying and caused a disturbance by banging on the door. After she refused to leave, her father, fearing she would break the window in the door, called the Band Constable on duty that night and requested that Ms Owens be detained in cells until she was sober. Band Constables attended and took Ms Owens into custody. She was taken to a trailer being used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Band Constables as a detention facility. While she was in custody, Ms Owens ripped a piece of her t-shirt which she used to hang herself from the door knob of the cell. She was discovered by Band Constables who made efforts to resuscitate her unsuccessfully.

  • Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation V. Canada (Minister of National Health and Welfare)
    Page 1 3 of 6 DOCUMENTS Indexed as: Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation v. Canada (Minister of National Health and Welfare) Between The Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation, The Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, The Opaskwayak Cree Nation, The Sapotewayek Cree Nation, The Mosakahiken Cree Nation, The Grand Rapids First Nation, and The Chemawawin Cree Nation, plaintiffs, and Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of National Health and Welfare, defendant [1999] F.C.J. No. 82 Court File No. T-383-98 Federal Court of Canada - Trial Division Winnipeg, Manitoba Hargrave, Prothonotary January 21, 1999 (11 pp.) Crown -- Actions by and against Crown in right of Canada -- Practice -- Stay of proceedings -- Pleadings -- Courts -- Federal Court of Canada -- Jurisdiction -- Indians -- Provision of health services. Motion by the defendant Minister of National Health and Welfare for a stay of the action brought by Wuskwi Sipihk Cree Nation for deficiencies in the health care. The action arose out of the government's decision to share jurisdiction Page 2 and responsibility for Native health care with the Province of Manitoba. The Cree Nation claimed that the federal government's delegation of responsibility for Native health care violated its treaty and constitutional rights. It sought declaratory and mandatory relief in order to obtain adequate and continuous health care. The Minister argued that the Federal Court had lost jurisdiction over the matter as the government sought to bring a third party claim against the Manitoba Crown for indemnity. The government argued that the Federal Court had no jurisdiction because health care was a provincial matter, and mandamus was a remedy to be applied only to federal boards, commissions and tribunals.

The directory also serves as a means of improving communications among people. The idea for the directory arose from the desire to make information about Aboriginal organizations more available to the public. This directory was first published in 1975 and has grown considerably since its initial edition, which had 16 pages compared to the 100 pages of the present edition. The directory reflects the vitality and diversity of Aboriginal cultural traditions, organizations, and enterprises. The editorial committee has made every effort to present in this directory an accurate and up-to-date listing. Fax numbers, Email addresses and Websites have been included whenever available. Inevitably, errors and omissions will have occurred in the revising and updating of this Directory, and the committee would greatly appreciate receiving information about such oversights, as well as changes and new information to be included in a future revision. Please call, fax or write to the Aboriginal Friendship Committee, Fort Garry United Church, using the information on the next page.

O’Neil Annalee Yassi Benita Cohen Department of Community Health Sciences University of Manitoba For additional copies of this report please contact CAHR office at 204-789-3250 April 1997 SAGKEENG FIRST NATION: DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AND THE PERCEPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH RISKS FINAL REPORT BRENDA ELIAS JOHN O’NEIL ANNALEE YASSI BENITA COHEN University of Manitoba Northern Health Research Unit Occupational and Environmental Health Unit Department of Community Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine (c) April 1997 Funding provided by the National Health Research and Development Program NHRDP Project No. 6607-1620-63 1 1.0 Introduction In 1988, a critical assessment was conducted on how governments and industry address potential health impacts of industrial developments in northern regions of Canada. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Research Council (CEARC) held several regional workshops across Canada to foster discussion on northern and Aboriginal understandings of environmental health issues. Many broad recommendations emerged: ∗ the health of a community should be understood before a development project is underway; ∗ the impacts of an existing industrial site on a community over time should be understood by actually studying whether there is industry-related diseases (such as cancer or lung problems) developing in that community; ∗ a communication approach that provides scientific information on contaminants to northern communities should be developed; ∗ a constructive and respectful way of understanding what northerners consider to be a danger to their health should be developed. This study is a critical response to these recommendations. It examines the cultural basis of risk perception and the importance of local knowledge in changing the assessment and management of health risks.
