Structures of Indifference examines an Indigenous life and death in
a Canadian city, and what it reveals about the ongoing history of
colonialism. At the heart of this story is a thirty-four-hour
period in September 2008. During that day and half, Brian Sinclair,
a middle-aged, non-Status Anishinaabeg resident of Manitoba's
capital city, arrived in the emergency room of the Health Sciences
Centre, Winnipeg's major downtown hospital, was left untreated and
unattended to, and ultimately died from an easily treatable
infection. His death reflects a particular structure of
indifference born of and maintained by colonialism. McCallum and
Perry present the ways in which Sinclair, once erased and ignored,
came to represent diffuse, yet singular and largely dehumanized
ideas about Indigenous people, modernity, and decline in cities.
This story tells us about ordinary indigeneity in the City of
Winnipeg through Sinclair's experience and restores the complex
humanity denied him in his interactions with Canadian health and
legal systems, both before and afterhis death. Structures of
Indifference completes the story left untold by the inquiry into
Sinclair's death, the 2014 report of which omitted any
consideration of underlying factors, including racism and systemic
discrimination.
