28-year-old Darnell Fineday, a First Nations member, was left paralyzed and non-verbal after an impaired driving incident. His mother, Charlene, and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) call for harsher penalties for impaired driving, better support for victims, and increased involvement of First Nations members in the justice system.
