Juries comprising six Indigenous people are to participate in two public inquests. The first inquest, scheduled to take place by next summer, will focus on 11 deaths on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon. It will include the death of Damien Sanderson, who was found near a crime scene on the First Nation with non-self-inflicted wounds.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
“It’s prudent to make sure we have all the information, everything is gathered in a proper form and then presented in an inquest.” After hearing all the evidence, jury members will be tasked with determining how the suspects and victims died, and will make recommendations to police and other parties on ways to prevent similar deaths.
Vice-Chief Alvin Moostoos told The Canadian Press on Sunday that the community about 200 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon is awaiting more information from police.
