Deaths put strain on Red Lake Nation once again

Tuesday, April 3, 2007  

Tragedy struck the Red Lake Nation of Minnesota again this week with the discovery of the bodies of two brothers who went missing last November.

Tristan White, 4, and Avery Lee Stately, 2, were found encased in ice in a lake near their home. They had apparently fallen through after walking across much of Thunder's First Lake.

The boys' deaths are still being investigated. But authorities have said there are no signs of foul play.

Tribal leaders and members said they were crushed by the news. Many wondered why a massive search failed to turn up any sign of the boys.
