A Canadian federal housing announcement for indigenous communities in Vancouver began on a sombre note on Tuesday morning.

Ahead of the announcement, members of the Squamish First Nation performed a prayer song for the victims of the Saskatchewan attacks.

“We want to hold our families up, give them strength and send them nothing but love”, said member of the Squamish Nation Council Wilson Williams.

Speaking to reporters following the announcement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government is still following the situation closely in Saskatchewan.

“We’re ensuring whatever resources needed by the police of the jurisdiction are received to be able to put an end to this situation,” Trudeau said.

He added people should be able to “grieve without fear”.

The search for Myles Sanderson continues, after he was allegedly spotted in James Smith Cree Nation on Tuesday afternoon.

• 10 people were killed and 18 injured in the mass stabbing attack on Sunday - one of the deadliest mass killings in Canada's recent history. The victims include a healthcare worker, an elderly man and a mother of two.
• Damien Sanderson was found dead in the James Smith Cree Nation on Monday. Police say his wounds were not self-inflicted. The two brothers were both charged with murder after the attacks, and police say Damien is still a suspect.
• Most of the attacks happened in James Smith Cree Nation, an indigenous community of about 3,500 people. Some victims were also found in nearby Weldon, a tiny village of just a few hundred people.
• About 300km (186 miles) away, in the provincial capital city of Regina, police have been searching for Sanderson, after his vehicle was spotted. But Tuesday's alleged sighting of him in James Smith Cree Nation has put focus back on the community.
• Local residents have been told to seek shelter immediately and not approach Sanderson if they see him.
• Sanderson has a lengthy and violent criminal record, going back to when he was a teenager. He was let out on parole seven months ago, but police have been searching for him since May, when he stopped meeting with his caseworker, according to media reports.

Although they are not common, Canada has seen mass killings in the past. Sunday's spate of attacks in the province of Saskatchewan, however, is already one of the deadliest instances of violence in the country.

Other recent incidents of mass violence in Canada include:

• April 2020: A gunman posing as a police officer goes on a 14-hour rampage across the province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people - making it the worst mass shooting in Canada's modern history
• April 2018: 10 people died after a Canadian man drove onto a packed pavement on a crowded Toronto street. The 29-year-old driver has since been sentenced to life in prison
• January 2017: Six people are killed and another eight wounded in a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, which Canadian authorities described as an act of terrorism
• December 2014: A man kills eight people, including his wife, before killing himself. The police said the "senseless mass murder" was linked to "extreme domestic violence"
• April 1996: In British Columbia, a man kills nine relatives gathered for the wedding of his estranged wife’s sister before turning the gun on himself
• December 1989: A gunman kills 14 female students and wounds a dozen more at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal

The suspect currently on the run from police, Myles Sanderson, has a lengthy criminal history stretching back to when he was a teenager, according to Canadian media reports.

Citing police records, Global News on Monday, external reported that Sanderson, 30, has had 59 criminal convictions since he was 18 years old, most recently for assault, assault with a deadly weapon, assaulting a police officer, uttering threats, mischief and robbery.

In one incident that took place in 2017, Sanderson punched a hole in a bathroom door and threw a cement block at a car at his ex-girlfriend's house. Days later, he allegedly threatened to murder the employee of a store and burn his family's house down.

Parole records cited by Global News said that he "acted in a threatening manner, made comments about a gang and damaged property."

Seven months ago, a parole official reportedly ruled that Sanderson would not "pose an undue risk" and that his release would "contribute to the protection of society."

According to an emergency alert sent to mobile phones, police have received reports of a possible sighting of Myles Sanderson in the James Smith Cree Nation.

Local residents are advised to seek shelter immediately and not to approach any suspicious persons in the area. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has urged the public to help by reporting any sightings immediately.

The alert is the first suspected sighting of Sanderson since he and his brother - who is now dead - were reportedly in Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan.

As the search continues, police have said they believe that suspect Myles Sanderson is in or around Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan.

Regina is the last place in which Sanderson and his brother - who is now dead - were seen alive.

"The information that put him in our community is now well over a day old and we have not had any new information to determine that is no longer factual," Regina Police Chief Evan Bray said in video posted late on Monday night.

"We are continuing to operate under the assumption that he is here until we get information that indicates otherwise," he said, adding that police are seeking the public's assistance by reporting anything out of the ordinary.

Sanderson is still considered armed and dangerous. Authorities believe he may have sustained injuries and might seek out medical assistance.

Regina, which has a population of about 215,000, is the second largest city in the province of Saskatchewan after Saskatoon.

White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged the attacks on Tuesday, calling them "senseless and devastating."

"We stand with Canada, our ally and neighbour, and all those affected by this tragedy", Jean-Pierre said.

Other high-profile international figures also reacted to the fatal stabbings.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said "the attacks are truly devastating" in a Twitter post on Tuesday.

"Catherine and I send our best wishes to the people of Canada," said the post, signed by Prince William.

European commission president Ursula von der Leyen said she will pay tribute to the victims when she visits Saskatchewan in two weeks.

"Europe mourns with you,” she said.

The drive into James Smith Cree Nation is 20 miles along a dirt and gravel road. The indigenous community is spread out and dusty - home to 3,500 people living in small clapperboard homes.

Police say this is where most of the stabbings took place.

Officers are dotted around the entrance - continuing their forensic investigation. They say things are moving along quickly.

Victims include a first responder, a widower and a teenage boy. The dead and injured were found in 13 locations here and in the neighbouring village of Weldon. Police decline to tell us what the official motive was.

The body of one of the murder suspects, Damien Sanderson, was also found here in James Smith Cree Nation. Police say his wounds were not self-inflicted but don’t give any detail. A large manhunt continues for his brother Myles Sanderson.

Weldon, Saskatchewan is a small town, home to about 200 people.

It’s a few streets amid a prairie expanse that brings to mind the provincial slogan “land of living skies”.

There are clusters of homes on gravel streets, two churches, a community centre, a grain elevator that serves as a sort of landmark, and no street lights.

While most of the victims are believed to have been on James Smith Cree Nation, about 30km away, Weldon is mourning Wes Petterson, who is being remembered as a gentle and kind-hearted man.

Here is what the village looked like on Monday night, a day after the stabbings - as captured by our video journalist Alexandra Ostasiewicz.

The two communities left devastated by Sunday's stabbing spree are small, tight-knit and remote corners of Saskatchewan, one of the largest and most sparsely populated parts of Canada.

Around 3,500 people live in the James Smith Cree Nation, an indigenous community located approximately 125 miles (200km) north-east of Saskatoon, the nearest major city.

The area is named after Chief James Smith, a brother of Chief John Smith who founded the Muskoday First Nation. The nation was officially established in 1876, according to the University of Saskatchewan.

Most of the community's residents are involved in farming, hunting and fishing across the community's 15,000-hectare area.

The second community, Weldon, is about 12.5 miles (20 km) away and is even smaller, with a population of about 200 people - including a significant portion of older residents.

Police have not released the names of all 10 victims who were fatally stabbed, but some have been identified by relatives.

Among them is Gloria Burns, 62, who worked at the James Smith Cree Nation health clinic.

Her brother, Daryl, said she “had devoted her life to helping people”. Burns was killed alongside two unidentified victims she was trying to protect, according to local media.

Lana Head, 49, was identified by her former partner. She leaves behind two adult daughters.

Another victim is Wes Petterson, 77, from Weldon, a small village near James Smith Cree Nation.

Residents and friends described Petterson, a widower, as a gentle, kind-hearted man.

Police have charged brothers Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, with first-degree murder.

The older brother, Damien, was found dead on Monday at the James Smith Cree Nation - an indigenous community where most of the victims lived.

His brother, Myles, is still at large and dangerous, police say.

Myles Sanderson has an extensive criminal history of violent behaviour dating back years that is detailed in parole records, according to local media.
