The police force said it would not release the identities or ages of the wounded, but confirmed one young teen was among the 18 injured.
The victims were named as:
All the victims were residents of James Smith Cree Nation, an Indigenous community, apart from Petterson who lived in the neighbouring village of Weldon in northern Saskatchewan.
The list does not include Damien Sanderson, a suspect in the attack whose body was found on Monday. His brother, Myles Sanderson remains at large, and faces murder charges.
The attack has left thousands grieving for friends, neighbours and family.
But in the days since, the victims have also been remembered as heroes of their community, some of whom fought fiercely to protect others when the attack began early Sunday morning, and others whose lives were taken while serving their community.
Speaking to reporters the Saskatoon Tribal Council chief, Mark Arcand, mourned the loss of his sister, Bonnie Burns, and her son Gregory.
