Marie Norma Mike, a 22-year-old Cree woman born May 13, 1941, disappeared from the Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation near Rosthern, Saskatchewan on the evening of February 22, 1964. She had been at a residence with her husband and reportedly went outside to use an outdoor washroom; a blizzard was raging that night and she never returned. Her husband reported her missing about a week later.

Marie was described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with a heavy build, black hair and black eyes, and scars on her right hand and forearm. She was last seen wearing a blouse and a skirt and was said to always wear her wedding band. Extensive searches at the time found no trace and her remains have never been located. No charges have ever been laid; unverified rumors of foul play have circulated in the community.

What details does anyone remember about that night or the area around Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation that might help shed light on Marie’s disappearance?
