Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger

It took one little boy, Jordan River Anderson, and his determined family to ensure that thousands of First Nations children can today receive the same standard of health care as the rest of the Canadian population. In Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger, Alanis Obomsawin chronicles the long legal fight against a system that caused injustices and suffering that resulted in the establishment of Jordan’s Principle, which ensures First Nations children get the services they need when they need them.
