Summary:
In 1921, the RCMP arrested two Copper Inuit men under suspicion that the two had murdered their uncle. Both men confessed to the crime through a police interpreter, though the confession was highly questionable. Drawing on documents long buried in restricted files in the National Archives, The Court of Better Fiction reveals the disgraceful incident and its fallout in unprecedented detail.
