Neil Stonechild's family has asked the Saskatoon police commission to pay a six-figure settlement to compensate for the teen's 1990 death and police handling of it.
The family is also seeking a written apology as part of a settlement that would avoid a civil suit.
Stonechild froze to death in November 1990. His body was found in a north Saskatoon field, with marks across his nose and wrists. Justice David Wright, commissioner of a public inquiry into Stonechild's death, found that constables Larry Hartwig and Brad Senger had Stonechild in custody the last night he was seen alive.
The commissioner described the police service's investigation of Stonechild's death as "superficial at best" in his October report.
Hartwig and Senger are appealing their dismissals from the force, but Curtis said that process won't affect settlement talks.
