Tribal Chief of the Saskatoon Tribal Council, Mark Arcand, says the STC is relieved that Myles Sanderson has been arrested and the manhunt is over. “Now people can start to feel safe again but also now is the time for healing to begin. There is a lot of trauma that will need to be dealt with and the victims will need our continued support. This is just the start.”

The STC thanks all law enforcement, including the RCMP, and police services from numerous communities including Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince Albert for their tireless efforts.

Myles Sanderson is facing three counts of first degree murder, a count of attempted murder and a break and enter charge, in connection to the stabbings on the James Smith Cree Nation and the Village of Weldon on Sunday, resulting in ten deaths and 18 people injured. The body of Sanderson’s brother Damien was found on Monday in a yard outside one of the homes that is part of the police investigation on the Cree Nation.
