Family of Cheyenne Fox seek justice Cheyenne Fox, 20, died from a 24-story fall last April. Her family continues to fight for answers. By Jen MtPleasant In 2013, three young First Nations women met sud- den and tragic deaths in Toronto within a three- month period. Even more startling is the fact that the police quickly dis- missed all deaths as ei- ther suicides or ruled out foul play without doing a thorough investigation. In May 2013, Terra Gardner, 26, from Nigig- oonsiminikaaning First Nation, was struck and killed by a freight train in Toronto. Police ruled out foul play despite the fact that Gardner was sum- moned to testify in a mur- der trial and she had told people close to her that she had been receiving death threats iri relation to this. In April 2013, Chey- enne Fox, 20, a member of the Sheguiandah First Nation died after falling from a 24-storey condo in Toronto. Within hours, Toronto Police told Fox's family she committed sui- cide. And in July of 2013, Bella Laboucan-McLean, 25, from Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation died after falling 31-storey's from another condo in Toronto. Initially, police once again tried to rule Laboucan's death a suicide, but after much pressure from the large First Nations com- munity in Toronto, po- lice are now treating her death as suspicious. Three beautiful young women, all met sudden tragic deaths and police are doing very little to find answers. But Cheyenne's fa- ther, John Fox, won't rest until justice is served. Fox, along with friends and family of Cheyenne, strongly believe her death was not a suicide. Cheyenne left behind a two year old son, Xavi- er, whom she loved very much. Fox is now calling for an inquest into his daughter's death. Members of Chey- enne Fox's family are demanding that Toronto police treat her death as a homicide. Last November, Fox's lawyer along with sup- porters met with Toron- to Police to discuss the death of Cheyenne. Ac- cording to Fox, the police admitted that they might be part of a 'systemic fail- ure': that is failure of the criminal justice system to treat First Nations peo- ple with diligence and respect, especially when they are victims of crime or victims of disappear- ances and murders. Fox also attended Toronto Police headquar- ters and met with Staff In- spector, Tony Riviere and four detectives to discuss their investigation into Cheyenne's death. Riviere told Fox, "What's going on with Aboriginal folks, is not just in the city of To- ronto. It's part of a larger problem." Riviere may have been referring to the dis- proportionate number of First Nations women who, in the past 30 years, have either met sudden and vi- olent deaths or have gone missing without a trace and a general unwilling- ness of police to help find answers. According to a report released by the Na- tive Women's Association, at least 582 Indigenous women and girls have been murdered and gone missing in the past three decades. First Nations women
