RED LAKE, Minn. (AP) - The FBI on Wednesday said a search had begun for two young brothers who were reported missing on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota.

Tristan Anthony White, 4, and Avery Lee Stately, 2, disappeared from a yard in the Walking Shield area of the city of Red Lake between 9:30 a.m. and 9:50 a.m. Wednesday morning, the FBI said. The home is near woods, and officials began a ground and air search Wednesday morning.

Police were called after the boys' mother didn't see them playing outside, Tribal Chairman Floyd (Buck) Jourdain said. Hundreds of people then joined in the ground search.

"We've mobilized the community," Jourdain said "We've already covered a lot of area, but have not seen hide or hair of them. We won't give up."

The boys, both American Indian, have short brown hair and brown eyes.

Tristan was described as 3-feet-6 and wearing a dark blue Spiderman jacket with yellow trim, Levis jeans and black and gray winter boots. Avery was described as 2-feet tall and wearing a gray pullover sweat shirt that says "Timberland" on the front, faded Levis jeans and Spiderman tennis shoes. Anyone with information can call the FBI at (612) 376-3200 or the Red Lake Tribal Police Department at (218) 679-3313.
