Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Indigenous Peoples and #Canada have lost a champion. The #NFB mourns the passing of Murray Sinclair (1951-2024), former Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. His determination, wisdom & kindness will always be remembered → bit.ly/HtSMSdoc

We are devastated to learn of the loss of our beloved leader and Elder, Mizana Giizhik, His Honour, Murray Sinclair. His tireless work to advance the rights of Indigenous Peoples and ensure the legacy of residential school Survivors will never be forgotten.

Murray Sinclair was a great Canadian, a great Manitoban, a great Anishinaabe.  His career stands as a legacy of public service and a deep commitment to truth, fairness and dignity for all people.  He was the first Indigenous person to be named to the Manitoba provincial court

Remembering a powerful voice for justice and reconciliation. Murray Sinclair, the Anishinaabe senator and Manitoba lawyer who led the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has died at age 73—more about his life tonight on APTN National News. Watch live here:

A sacred fire has been lit outside the Manitoba Legislature in the Anishinaabe tradition following the passing of the Honourable Murray Sinclair Monday morning. Meanwhile, tributes to Sinclair have been rolling in nationwide | Tiar Wheatle | Leanne Sanders aptnnews.ca/?p=253062

Tonight, I’m thinking about Justice Murray Sinclair and of the times that I was lucky enough to hear him speak about his work with the TRC. This moment stands out for me. It’s his answer when he was asked, “Why can’t you just get over it?”

Murray Sinclair has passed the torch to us all. Globe editorial: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

Feeling pretty grateful that ‘Reconciling History’ has debuted at #3 on the The Globe and Mail best-sellers list. 🙏🏽📕😁 Thanks to everyone for the support, and for your continued desire to learn, understand, and act on the path of reconciliation. 🪶
