 latest film\, celebrated Abenaki director Alanis Obomsawin tells the story
  of Jordan River Anderson\, and how as a result of his short life\, thousa
 nds of Indigenous children today receive the same standard of social\, he
 alth and education services as the rest of the Canadian population.\n\nBe
 cause of Jordan’s Indian status\, a dispute arose between the government
 s of Canada and Manitoba over who was responsible for his care\, and Jorda
 n did not receive the appropriate home-based assistance that would have al
 lowed him to end his life in his own community.\n\nJordan’s Principle wa
 s passed into law by the House of Commons\, and the Canadian Human Rights 
 Tribunal issued a ruling guaranteeing the same standard of service\, yet m
 any Indigenous children were still denied access. It took sustained commit
 ment and the issuance of several mandatory orders for justice to be done.\
 n\nThe very timely Jordan River Anderson\, The Messenger completes\, on 
 an optimistic note\, the film cycle devoted to the rights of Indigenous ch
 ildren and peoples that began with The People of the Kattawapiskak River.
