A search is underway for a missing native police officer near the western shore of Hudson's Bay in northern Ontario.

An officer with the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service and a worker from the airport in the community of Peawanuck were thrown from an 18-foot aluminum boat in rapids on the Winisk River.

The airport worker was able to make it to shore, but the 55-year-old police officer is still missing.
