SCO survey to examine First Nations involvement with justice system in Manitoba - Winnipeg | Globalnews.ca

An organization representing First Nations across southern Manitoba says it’s looking for feedback about the justice system from an Indigenous perspective.

The Southern Chiefs’ Organization said Tuesday that it’s conducting an online survey to address the overrepresentation of First Nations, Métis and Inuit people in the justice system, as well as focusing on issues of systemic discrimination. Those issues are particularly acute in Manitoba, the organization said, where three-quarters of adults in custody are Indigenous, and where Canada’s highest number of Indigenous women and youth are incarcerated.
