Participating in the 1993 Sacred Run in New Zealand was truly meant to be for a group of young athletes from central Canada.

Left penniless and ticket-less after their trainer failed to show on the eve of the run, the youths were the recipients of a wave of financial support that floated them to New Zealand and back.

More than $14,000 were donated to the First Nations Running Club, with an additional $15,000 granted through the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.

Tribal police services have been cancelled on eight Manitoba reserves, leaving residents without police surveillance, and relying on RCMP from nearby communities to attend emergency calls.

The council is demanding an additional $500,000 from provincial coffers to fund the police force until the fiscal year end, next March 31.
