WINNIPEG — For years, people in the tiny northern Manitoba community of Norway House Cree Nation gossiped and whispered about why David Tait Jr. and Leon Swanson didn’t look much like their parents. Now, the two men — born just days apart in the same remote community’s hospital — are devastated after learning that they’ve called the wrong people their family for decades after apparently being switched at birth. “I want answers so bad,” an emotional and tearful Tait Jr. told reporters Friday. Further DNA tests are expected to show that Swanson, Tait Jr.’s life-long friend, is the biological son of Frances Tait, the men said. Tait Jr. was born three days after Swanson in the winter of 1975 at the federally run Norway House Indian Hospital.
