Grand Chief Cathy Merrick will lie in state today at the Manitoba Legislative Building.
The provincial government made the announcement Monday.
Merrick passed away Friday in Winnipeg.
Members of the public are invited to pay their respects at the Legislative Building between noon and 5 p.m.
There will also be a book of condolences placed at the base of the Grand Staircase.
Visitors will be able to sign the book between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. for the rest of the week. After the public has had a chance to sign, the book will be gifted to the family.
The flags at the Manitoba Legislative Building will stay lowered to half-mast until the funeral in Cross Lake on Saturday.
