Summary
Tensions are rising in Sheshatshiu after a viral video showed alleged excessive force by RCMP during an arrest, sparking outrage and protests. In response, the RCMP has referred the case to SIRT for investigation, while Innu Nation leaders demand two officers be removed from the community and barred from future service there. This incident is fueling a broader push for Indigenous self-policing — calling on provincial and federal governments to amend laws to allow First Nations to establish their own police services, with funding through existing federal programs. Leaders are set to meet again with RCMP officials next week and seek inclusion in the province’s policing review, insisting this is vital for building a system that truly serves their people.
