Chief Lonechild centre of legal controversy

Jul 26, 2011 | 12:23 PM

The Chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations promises impeachment efforts could result in serious legal action.

Guy Lonechild’s warning comes in a seven page letter after Chiefs at the FSIN spring assembly recently voted to make changes to the Executive Act – changes that indicate a closed session vote of 50 per cent plus one of those chiefs in attendance can bring about a vote of non-confidence.

The embattled leader promises that there will be consequences if the impeachment process is pushed forward.

“There would be serious financial and legal liabilities put on the organization,” says Lonechild.

Some band chiefs no longer have faith in Lonechild's leadership after it was learned he'd been charged with impaired driving back in 2009 — he was convicted of that charge in March.
