Sinjar clashes (2017)
The Sinjar clashes of 3 March 2017 occurred between pro-PKK forces, namely the Sinjar Resistance Units (YBŞ) and the Êzîdxan Women's Units (YJÊ), and the Rojava Peshmerga that serve as the Kurdish National Council's paramilitary wing. After KNC forces entered the town of Khanasor in the Iraqi Sinjar Mountains, fighting boke out among unclear circumstances, resulting in dozens of casualties.

The clashes have widely been seen as symptomatic for the high tensions among the forces that fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) around Sinjar, and the risk that these tensions could escalate into turf wars, which would degrade any attempts to drive the extremist group from the region for good.

R v Machekequonabe
R v Machekequonabe (1897), 28 OR 309, 2 CCC 138, was a decision of the Divisional Court of the Supreme Court of Ontario.

Machekequonabe, the accused, was an Anishinaabe man who shot and killed someone he believed to be a wendigo. In fact, the man was his foster father.

Machekequonabe was convicted of manslaughter at first instance: the trial judge rejected his alleged defences of lack of mens rea and insanity. However, Machekequonabe was acquitted of murder because the Crown was unable to prove that Machekequonabe intended to kill his foster father.

On appeal, Chief Justice John Douglas Armour held for the court that Machekequonabe was guilty of manslaughter despite not being aware that the common law existed. Machekequonabe, the only reported case in which an accused person killed an alleged wendigo, became a precedent for the proposition that "Indigenous peoples were bound by colonial law regardless of their religious and cultural beliefs".
