Two more aboriginal boys from northern Manitoba switched at birth: family – The Chronicle Herald
August 25, 2016
NORWAY HOUSE, Man. — Indigenous leaders say two men from a northern Manitoba First Nation have DNA evidence showing they were switched at birth — the second such alleged mix-up in the mid-1970s at the same federally run hospital.
The men, who are to share their story publicly Friday, were born at the Norway House Cree Nation hospital in January 1975. They still live in the community about 450 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
DNA tests revealed just a few days ago that the men are not biologically related to their parents.
“It’s disgraceful,” Manitoba’s former aboriginal affairs minister Eric Robinson, who has been working with the families, said Thursday.
