Hundreds of people from across Saskatchewan packed into Saskatoon’s Prairieland Park for the funeral of Randell Morris, president of the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies.
Morris, 47, died earlier this week from a sudden medical emergency, leaving his family, friends, co-workers and students in shock.

Friday’s funeral began with a powerful entrance by George Gordon First Nation dancers carrying a large SIIT eagle staff.
Morris was a member of the First Nation, but grew up in Swift Current where he went to school with Premier Brad Wall.
Wall gave an emotional speech about Morris, describing how they re-connected later in life.
Wall said Morris often ‘‘over-delivered on his commitments” when the two met to discuss policies.
