“The manner in which Cindy Gladue’s body parts were presented as evidence in the trial is, arguably, in itself a criminal act.” - Lisa Weber “Indigenous bodies, our bodies, must no longer be desecrated by courts that deny us justice.” - Leena Minifie “Her body is not whole in its resting place. In any other context this could be seen as desecration of her remains, but in this judicial process it is called preservation of evidence. It is simply horrific. It appears that the court did not contemplate Cindy’s dignity, death rites, or any indigenous perspective on caring for the dead.” - Christa Big Canoe 12 | Our Breaking Point: Canada’s Violation of Rights in Life & Death
“Her mother sat through that trial and listened to the evidence and it was really disturbing … a person needs to stay balanced and its hard to do that when everything about your child or your family member is being told in a very negative, degrading way.” - Lynda Budreau- Smaganis, Cree Metis Elder Edmonton Journal, March 26, 2015 13
