“Justice for Joyce”

That was the message that brought thousands out onto the street on saturday.

The protest was called following the death of Joyce Echequan, an Atikamekw woman who died in a Joliette hospital after capturing video of nurses insulting her. 

Indigenous leaders say it's yet another example of systemic racism against indigenous people.

Quebec’s coroner says they will launch a public inquest into Echequan’s death.
