When Lester Desjarlais, a young Ojibwa boy, took his own life, what began as a routine inquiry into yet another Native suicide grew into a wide-ranging examination not only of his community but of the larger society which failed to save him. The 1991 inquest into his death, scheduled to last a day, broadened into one of the longest in Manitoba's history -- uncovering a tragic story of abuse, family suffering, and finally, tragedy. The author of this book, a journalist for the Winnipeg Free Press, covered the inquest.
