"Trained." Again?

“'We have been trained to associate that with kings and dukes and people worthy of that status,' LaFond said. 'I came to the realization that I, as a victim of domestic violence, was almost one of them (a murdered Indigenous person). I was intubated and ventilated and on life support. I had to ask myself, ‘How I would want to be represented?’ I would want to be represented with dignity. A lot of these people are being blamed for their own murders.'”
