What happened during the attack?
Police received a call at 5:40am (11:40 GMT) on Sunday, reporting a stabbing at the James Smith Cree Nation. More calls describing knife attacks in the area came in quick succession, reporting violence at 13 locations.
Blackmore said some of the victims “may have been targeted and some may be random”, and a motive was not immediately clear. She noted several victims identified the attackers.
Police named the suspects as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30.
The attackers fled in a black Nissan Rogue and were sighted in Regina, the provincial capital that is more than 300km (185 miles) to the south of the violence. A police search was expanded to include the neighbouring provinces of Manitoba and Alberta.
Television images showed rural homes, in fields of tall grass and trees, in James Smith Cree Nation cordoned off with police tape. On social media, residents shared images of the attacks’ aftermath, including a broken door handle to a burgled home.

Who are the suspects?
Saskatchewan RCMP said on Monday evening that the suspects, Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson, were brothers.
Damien Sanderson, who was described as 170cm (5ft-7in) tall and weighing 70kg (155lb) with black hair and brown eyes, was found dead on James Smith Cree Nation on Monday morning, police said.
“His body was located outdoors in a heavily grassed area, in proximity to a house that was being examined. We can confirm he has visible injuries. These injuries are not believed to be self-inflicted at this point,” Blackmore of Saskatchewan RCMP told reporters.
Myles Sanderson was described as 185cm (6ft-1in) and weighing 109kg (240lb) with brown hair and brown eyes.
In May, Myles Sanderson was listed as “unlawfully at large” by Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers, a programme that encourages the public to cooperate with police to find wanted suspects. There were no further details about why he was wanted at the time.
CBC News reported that the “unlawfully at large” information was issued after Myles Sanderson — who had been serving a nearly five-year prison sentence for assault, robbery, mischief and uttering threats — stopped meeting with his parole officer after getting a statutory release.
