Band members demand chief’s resignation

Chief of the Kinistin First Nation, in northeast Saskatchewan, is being asked to resign.

Some disgruntled band members held a news conference, Wednesday.

It goes back to a promise Chief Peter Nippi made last August, said Sandra Lumberjack.

“The chief said if he didn't get the band out of debt by Dec. 1, he was going to resign.”

The deadline has now passed.
