description: In September 2008 Brian Sinclair a middle-aged non-Status Anishinaabe resident of Manitobas capital city wheeled himself into the Health Sciences Centre Winnipegs major downtown hospital. He was left untreated and unattended to for thirty-four hours in the Emercency Room where he ultimately died from an easily treatable infection. McCallum and Perry show that Sinclairs tragically avoidable death reflects a particular structure of indifference born of and maintained by colonialism.
