Treaty One Territory, Winnipeg, Manitoba – The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) continues to support the family of Jaeda Vanderwal in the aftermath of her suspicious death on January 5, 2020.

AMC Grand Chief Arlen Dumas stated, “Since the January 16, 2020 press conference with the Beaulieu family members regarding irregularities of Jaeda’s death, I am pleased it motivated representatives of the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS), Medical Examiner’s Office, and Victim Services to meet with them, along with representatives from the AMC’s First Nations Family Advocate Office on the following day. The family was able to express their concerns surrounding the circumstances leading to her death, as well as sharing evidence and tips from the public. It was confirmed that at this time, the investigation for Jaeda’s family remains open, and the family awaits answers into the events leading up to her tragic death.”
