Jordan River Anderson
Jordan River Anderson was a young Indigenous boy from Manitoba whose tragic story led to the creation of Jordan's Principle. Born with multiple disabilities, he spent his entire life in hospital while authorities debated who should pay for the home care he needed. His case highlighted the systemic inequities faced by First Nations children and ultimately resulted in a landmark human rights ruling aimed at ensuring that Indigenous children receive the same healthcare and support services as other Canadian children.
