Colten Boushie

Colten Boushie was a 22-year-old Indigenous man from the Red Pheasant Cree Nation whose death in 2016 sparked national outrage and debate over systemic racism in Canada's justice system. He was shot by a farmer, Gerald Stanley, after a car accident, leading to a highly publicized trial that resulted in Stanley's acquittal by an all-white jury. Boushie's death highlighted ongoing issues of violence against Indigenous people and calls for justice reforms in Canada.
