Video surveillance footage shows one of the three men who entered the property violently confronting another man and grabbing his braid.
Sunchild, a prominent North Battleford lawyer, provided to RCMP her security camera surveillance footage that showed the moments preceding the Sunday attack and the incident itself. Her friend, Colby Tootoosis, was with his six-year-old daughter returning a trailer he borrowed from Sunchild and her husband, when three non-Indigenous men entered the property and confronted him.
Sunchild had been at the lake with her family when she received a call from Tootoosis. She said neighbours witnessed some of the incident and helped to diffuse it. According to neighbours, the men were threatening to go into her house, Sunchild said. Her 13-year-old son was in the home, but did not witness the incident. She said she was concerned the men were being violent on her property while the children were nearby.
According to Sunchild, Tootoosis declined an interview since he was still shaken up, but did want to share his story. “Investigations take time to complete. Charges have not been laid at this time and North Battleford RCMP are continuing their investigation into this incident, including working to identify and locate the suspects involved,” RCMP said.“This was an unprovoked racial attack by residents of Battleford who assaulted a respected First Nation male with leadership and Treaty advocacy and who still does amazing work for First Nation communities,” vice-chief Dutch Lerat said in a statement.
