Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in the East Algoma Region are looking for the public’s help in locating a missing five-year-old girl and her mother from the Mississauga First Nation, near Blind River.
On Jan. 15 shortly after 10:30 a.m., provincial police received a missing persons report from the First Nation community.
“Police were advised that five-year-old Nakina Boyer and mother departed their residence on (Jan. 15),” the OPP said in a news release.
“There was a scheduled appointment they failed to attend.”
Police said the family is known to visit Batchewana First Nation and has ties to Sault Ste. Marie so officers are now expanding their search.
Nakina is described as Indigenous, 4-foot tall, 80 pounds with a heavy build, brown eyes and straight light brown hair.
Her mother, Jeanette, is described as Indigenous, 5-feet-3-inches tall, about 145 pounds with a medium build, brown eyes and long brown hair.
