A second death has been reported at a nursing station on the Manto Sipi Cree Nation in Manitoba.

A two-month-old infant who was suffering from pneumonia died at the station last Saturday. Earlier this year, a 28-year-old man died there.

"How many more of our people need to die before something changes?" Chief Michael Yellowback told CBC News.

Health Canada said it would investigate Wood's death.
