The news conference will be attended by Northlands Denesuline First Nation Chief Simon Denchezhe, Grand Chief Cathy Merrick of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, representatives from Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, provincial Justice Minister Matt Wiebe and Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine.
Statements from family members will also be made, but they will not be in attendance, RCMP said. Northlands Denesuline is located about 1,000 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg and accessible only by air or winter roads.
