Members of a Saskatchewan First Nation quietly gathered on Monday to mark the one-year anniversary of a mass stabbing.
Some of the families affected by the tragedy returned to James Smith Cree Nation, northeast of Saskatoon, for the first time.
Chaos descended on the First Nation a year ago when 32-year-old Myles Sanderson moved from one home to another, busting down doors and attacking people.
Eleven people were killed and 17 were injured on the First Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon.
After a four-day manhunt, police arrested suspect Myles Sanderson, who died in police custody.

Over the weekend, The First Nation held a powwow, a private memorial service and candlelit vigil, to allow members a chance to grieve and heal.
