In 2001, Gladys Tolley of Kitigan Zibi Anishnaabeg was struck and killed by a Surete de Quebec cruiser. The “investigation” that ensued was carried out by brothers of the offending officer. Since then, Gladys’ daughter, Bridget Tolley, has been working non-stop at calling a public inquiry into her mother’s death. She has, so far, not received the attention she and her family deserve, but is determined nevertheless to keep going, “even if it takes ten or fifteen years.”
