Website witnesses egging of Native people in park in Ontario

Monday, June 24, 2013  

NetNewsLedger witnessed a "disgusting practice" in Thunder Bay, Ontario -- the egging of Native people.

The website posted pictures of a person who got out of a car and threw eggs at four Native people in in a park. “I had heard about things like this in Thunder Bay, but I couldn’t believe it until I got here and have seen it," one victim was quoted as saying.

The site also said the same car tried to hit two people who were walking to the same park. It wasn't reported whether those intended victims were Native.

Thunder Bay draws a significant number of Native people who go there for school and work.
