A person in a grey hoodie with an embroidered witch stands with the greenscreen on and waves. Letters above them say “Aunty T’s History Lesson”, along with a collage of art such as an eagle, three hands holding pink cups, and the back of a Native girl with braids.
“Tansi! Hello, welcome to Aunty T’s history lesson.” They wave.
White text appears where their hand points to the left, along with a police car. “Today we are going to be talking about the Starlight Tours also known as the Saskatoon Freezing Deaths.”
“So, the Starlight Tours were a series of 3 and possibly more deaths that took place in the 1990s and early 2000s.” Above them this time is replaced by yellow police tape that says ‘crime scene do not cross’.
“So the Saskatoon police would pick up Indigenous, usually men, for alleged drunkenness and disorderly behavior and sometimes without a reason at all.” A little fake moon in the top right corner glimmers.
“So they would take them to the outskirts of the city, strip them of their clothes and abandon them to walk home in the middle of the night in freezing conditions.” More information stays at the top of the video, saying tha Saskatoon can reach -30 to -40 weather.
“The three victims that I mentioned earlier were named Neil Stonechild, Lawrence Wegner, and Rodney Naistus and they all sadly died from hypothermia.” Pictures of the boys sit at the top of the screen.
“And keep in mind that these incidents date back to 1976.”
They continue as a book about the Starlight Tours pop into view. The book is by Susanne Reber and Robert Renaud at it’s about the last, lonely nights of Neil Stonechild. On the book their is a red part that reads “a teen’s suspicious death, a shocking police cover-up, and a mother’s search for the truth.
“My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims as well as the families that suffered from these traumatic and heartbreaking incidents.”
Screen switches to the Tik Toker’s name and username, Tia Wood / @tiamiscihk

For no real reason, I recently had a wave of nostalgia. I think it came from seeing some old paintball magazines in Facebook. It got me thinking about the first times I played paintball in Saskatoon at Splat City Paintball with my friend Geza.
It must have been 1994 or 93. We had his grandmother drive us, she was under the guise that it was an art class to paint wooden balls, or something to that effect.
We paid our admission fee, were issued a cover all, hopper of 50 paintballs and a Tippman SL68 pump paintball gun, then set off to have the time of our lives.
Good memories… And these two guns I purchased, a VM68 and Tracer II, were two guns that I used in my early years of paintball.

Snapshot of crime in Canada: Serious criminal activity on decline for more than a decade
Violent crime in Canada fell for the eighth straight year — despite a slight increase in homicides — with Saskatoon becoming the country’s most crime-ridden city, Statistics Canada reported Wednesday.
The downward trend came as the agency reported serious crime in general fell to its lowest relative level since 1969 — marking 11 straight years of declines.
