Montreal Lake chief speaks out about Marlene Bird assault
While support continues to pour in for Marlene Bird in Prince Albert, residents on Montreal Lake Cree Nation, where she is from, are showing their support as well.
“We’re meeting this afternoon with the family and looking at opening a trust, so that any donations that are being put together can be put into,” said Montreal Lake Chief Edward Henderson on Wednesday.
Henderson said that he has only been passing along information shared in the media with his community.
“I’ve been keeping in contact with the mother and the aunt, we’re not giving too much information out to the members, just what everybody else knows,” said Henderson.
