''Members of a northern Saskatchewan First Nation are looking for answers after human remains were recently discovered in their community landfill.

"There are so many rumours going around saying it's so and so. It's pretty hard on families. We're pretty shaken up," said Geoffrey Sandfly, security director for Big Island Lake Cree Nation, which is about 320 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.''


''Since 2020, the band has had more than 200 security cameras and 24-hour checkpoints at all community entrances. It started as a measure to curb the drug trade and gang activity, but also served to protect the community from COVID-19, he said.

RCMP said they've ruled out recent missing persons, but Sandfly said there are other older cases of missing community members who may fit the description.''

Police say they will also seek co-operation from families of missing people.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Pierceland RCMP at 306-839-3330, or their local police service.

Information can also be sent anonymously to Crime Stoppers online, or by calling 1-800-222-8477.

Big Island Lake is located roughly 350 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.''
