A special ceremony is being held today at the Montreal Lake Cree Nation to remember a community member killed a year ago.
On April 3rd, 2011, the body of 49-year-old John Moses Bird was found on a road on the reserve.
Investigators believe Bird was hit by a vehicle and the driver took off.
The band’s vice-chief, Richie Bird, says the band is unveiling a memorial in the victim’s honour.
“It hasn’t been solved. We’re not looking for revenge, or whatever. (He) was a father, he was a grandfather, he was a friend in the community, played hockey, played ball . . . a real nice guy.”
RCMP are still investigating the death, but no one has been arrested.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police or Crime Stoppers.
