The Cross Lake Indian band, located 500 kilometres north of Winnipeg, is looking for financing to set up an internal system of justice. Chief Etienne Robinson says the provincial justice system doesn't serve the needs of band members. He said a committee has been appointed to examine ways for the band to establish a court and police force.
