A northern Manitoba father says his family still doesn't have any answers to why or how his daughter died in RCMP custody last year.

The investigation into Janine Walker's death remains open, but Vernon Highway says he hasn't even seen her autopsy report.

Janine Walker was 23 when she was detained by RCMP in Chemawawin Cree Nation, about 400 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, in March last year.

She was arrested for being intoxicated, and 15 hours later she was found dead in her cell.

It seems she died for attracting RCMP attention while Indigenous, something that seems to happen far too often (even once in the history of the RCMP would be too often). Since disbanding the RCMP and starting over isn't going to happen, how do we get this toxic racism out of them?
