Manitoba RCMP said no charges will be laid in the two mixups at the Norway House Indian Hospital in 1975 because there is no evidence that what happened was a criminal offence. The hospital did not seem to ensure identification bands were placed on newborn babies’ ankles at the time. Two other men from Norway House Cree Nation, Leon Swanson and David Tait Jr., came forward with the same story in August 2016. Health Canada reports 239 babies were born at the hospital that year, but no other cases have come to light. They also confirmed that Swanson, Tait Jr.’s life-long friend, is the biological son of Frances Tait.
