A Cree teen’s death in a B.C. group home, and what it reveals about the system

April 28, 2022
|
Joe Fish

His name was Traevon Desjarlais-Chalifoux. He was 17. And in the wake of his death, there are so many questions and so few answers. Will the system admit any responsibility? Will the government that oversees it make any changes? How big is this long-ignored systemic problem, and can we fix it before it costs another young Indigenous person their life?
