The police have found the body of suspect Damien Sanderson (31) at the James Smith Cree Nation, the indigenous community where most of the victims lived. Many of the victims were residents of the remote James Smith Cree Nation, home to about 2,000 people. The James Smith Cree Nation has issued a plea for privacy and time to mourn, and some media have been asked to leave. The term First Nation refers to Canada’s indigenous communities, which enjoy a degree of self-government in matters including health, education and taxation. Canada’s incumbent governor general, Mary Simon, is also an indigenous Canadian.
