Two Killings, the same day, one year apart: Why James Smith Cree Nation mourns

#GlobalNews
The Sunday of the Labour Day weekend is considered cursed by many from James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan.

Not only is it the day that Myles Sanderson went on a murderous rampage through the community in 2022, killing 11 and injuring 17, but exactly one year prior, another young man shot and killed two residents and injured a third.

Both incidents are believed to have involved drug use.

Residents have created a security force to improve safety, but the James Smith Cree Nation chief says its ability to stop drug dealers is limited. Nathaniel Dove reports.
