Shoal Lake #39 seeks big money for its water

124 million dollars.

That's the price tag the Shoal Lake #39 First Nation has put on the water Winnipeg draws from their lake each year.

Yesterday band members embarked on a four day march to the

Manitoba Legislature and chief Eli Mandamin says they could step up their protest if they don't get any action.

About 30 members of Shoal Lake are resuming the walk to Winnipeg today.

They are scheduled to arrive on Thursday.
