When J.j. Harper Of The Island Lake Tribal Council Was Fatally Shot On A Wintry Winnipeg Street In 1988, The City Police Department Was Quick To Absolve The Officer Involved From All Blame.

Harper Points A Finger At The Growing Disaster Of Race Relations And Policing In Canada's Inner Cities.--pub. Desc. Part I. The Struggle -- Part Ii. The Inquest -- Part Iii. The Sacrifice -- Part Iv. The Touch -- Part V. The Verdict -- Part Vi. The Sentence -- Part Vii. The Summing Up. Gordon Sinclair, Jr.
