Donald Jimmy Lariviere was three and a half years old when he disappeared from the remote community of Pinehouse, Saskatchewan, on May 1, 1967. He was last seen at the local airstrip in the company of his father; according to reports the father fell asleep there and, upon waking, found Donald gone and returned home without him. Beyond his age and Indigenous heritage, little of Donald’s physical description or what he wore that day has been documented publicly, and many key details have been lost to time.

The case remains open and is managed by the F Division RCMP Historical Case Unit. A later, unresolved lead involved a family friend who believed a boy pictured in a U.S. newspaper — holding a black puppy with the caption Black — goes by Nikki — resembled Donald; the paper reportedly said the child had already been claimed, but it has never been confirmed whether the photo was of Donald.

Anyone who remembers Donald, the 1967 airstrip in Pinehouse, or who can help clarify the newspaper photograph is asked to come forward with information.
