Cambridge Bay (Feb 06/06) - The wheels of justice are turning for Richard Tologanak, but not as fast as his family would like.

Tologanak was killed in Edmonton on Sept. 15, 2004.

Kevin O'Donnell - 21 years old at the time of the arrest - was charged with criminal hit and run in connection with the death after he turned himself in to police the following day.

O'Donnell is also accused of leaving the accident scene.

O'Donnell appeared in an Edmonton courtroom on Jan. 17 and will appear again on March 3 to set a date for his eventual trial.

The trial was originally scheduled for Aug. 2, 2005. This latest delay has dismayed his family.

"It would be nice to put a closure to it, and our prayers are with my brother. We can't do anything; the white man is running the show," said Richard's eldest sister, Navalik Tologanak.

Her brother was 43 when he died. He was riding a bicycle down a downtown Edmonton street, when he was struck by a pick-up truck.

He was thrown across the street by the impact and was pinned underneath a taxi.

He died in hospital a short time after.

His sister would like to see some traditional healing applied to the case, but only after the court case is finished.

"We'd like a chance to confront the opposite party, but we have to wait for the trial to finish. It might affect the outcome of his case," said Tologanak.

Richard Tologanak - who was the youngest of 10 siblings - is survived by his children Leslie Harve, Nicole Komak, Shane Akhina and his grandchildren Elijah Harve and Hailey Komak.
