OPP say officers with the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service responded to a report of an assault on Albany River Crescent in Eabametoong First Nation just after 3:30 a.m. on Sunday.
They say two people were found with life-threatening injuries and were airlifted to hospital.
OPP say one of the individuals, a 33-year-old man of Eabametoong First Nation, died from his injuries.
Police say five suspects, including two teens ages 15 and 17, have each been charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault.
They say the suspects are scheduled to appear in court this month and anyone with information is asked to contact police.
