84 percent of Indigenous people who took part in an investigation into racism against Indigenous people in British Columbia, Canada reported discrimination in system, according to CBC News. Nearly 9,000 people participated in the investigation.

More than half of the Indigenous health-care workers who participated said they had personally experienced racism at work.

B.C. health minister Adrian Dix called the work of Turpel-Lafond's team "extraordinary."

"Racism has made B.C.'s health-care system an unsafe place for many Indigenous peoples to access services and the care they need," he said Monday. Dix promised action and apologized.
