Murray Sinclair, the Anishinaabe senator and renowned Manitoba lawyer who led the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has died at age 73.
Sinclair died at a Winnipeg hospital early Monday morning “peacefully and surrounded by love,” his family said in a statement.
“Mazina Giizhik (the One Who Speaks of Pictures in the Sky) committed his life in service to the people: creating change, revealing truth, and leading with fairness throughout his career,” the statement said.
“The impact of our dad’s work reached far across the country and the world. From residential school survivors to law students to those who sat across from him in a courtroom, he was always known as an exceptional listener who treated everyone with dignity and respect.
“We know that stories of his kindness, generosity and fairness will circulate for generations to come.”
