Chiefs grill FSIN over SIGA
Saskatchewan Chiefs used impassioned language on Wednesday at the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations' Fall Assembly, after the board of the Indian Gaming Authority spent more than $900,000 in the last fiscal year.
The expenses were more than $250,000 over last year's expenses. Some of the speakers, like Shoal Lake Chief Marcel Head, credited the spending increase to unnecessary personal expenditures.
“They're making huge amounts of dollars just for their own benefits,” said the Chief, reciting comments from his community members.
Others accused the SIGA board of mixing business and politics, like English River Chief Ralph Paul.
