Headstone for late LLRIB Chief Isiah Charles erected in Stanley Mission
A new headstone honouring the late Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) Chief Isiah Charles was commemorated Tuesday.
Charles was the chief of the LLRIB from 1967 to 1969 and he was from Grandmother’s Bay but buried in Stanley Mission. The ceremony to commemorate the headstone was held during the first day of the Amachewespimawin Community Gathering in Stanley Mission.
Special dignitaries, community members, and Charles’ family attended the ceremony.
“We wanted to make sure we had a beautiful headstone for the chiefs who have served our community members and helped shape who we are … as the Lac La Ronge Indian Band, as a Cree nation rich in history, fishing, hunting, trapping, gathering and just the sense of community we have,” said Chief Tammy Cook-Searson.
