(Treaty 6 Territory, Saskatoon SK) – The FSIN is relieved that Myles Sanderson has been
captured.
“Our many families and people whose lives have been altered forever because of this tragedy can now take comfort that Mr. Sanderson is no longer a risk to their safety. Our communities can now begin the lengthy process of healing through our culture, spirituality, and other denominations,” said Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nation.
“This is not a time or a platform for the non-Indigenous community to make uncompassionate
and culturally insensitive comments about this tragedy in any capacity. Hurtful and ignorant
comments on any media is considered culturally insensitive and racist. Now is the time for our community a whole to come together in support of the James Smith First Nation and the victim from Weldon. Together we need to support these families and these communities in their healing journeys,” said Chief Cameron.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations will work closely with the RCMP to monitor
inappropriate and culturally insensitive comments and will urge accountability for those to which to cause further damage to at the already grieving.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan. The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations is committed to honouring the spirit and intent of the Treaties, as well as the promotion, protection and implementation of the Treaty promises that were made more than a century ago.
