Wells is one of two mothers who joined First Nations leaders in Ottawa this week to demand a national inquiry into systemic racism in policing to address what they're calling an "inter-related epidemic" of violence and death.

An emergency resolution calling for the inquiry was high on the agenda Tuesday as AFN chiefs and proxies met on day one of the national advocacy organization's annual winter meeting.

The resolution cited the recent deaths of 10 First Nations people following interactions with police from August to November 2024.

Jon Wells, a member of the Blood Tribe in Alberta, died following an interaction with municipal police in Calgary.

The starlight tours, the residential schools, the neglected water supplies, the inaction on missing and murdered women... the slow motion genocide at every level of Canadian government and "authority" has always been, and will continue until those responsible are deposed.

Awful. I'm not surprised Alberta is named. People are getting extremely racist here, and we know what kind of people law enforcement positions attract.
