Aug 5, 2011 | 10:37 AM

Guy Lonechild has been temporarily suspended from his duties as Chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations.

Lonechild said he received notice from vice-Chief Morley Watson, who is now interim chief.

It follows a hearing among chiefs Thursday to determine whether Lonechild should face a vote of non-confidence over his drunk driving conviction.

Lonechild calls the action lawless, and is talking with lawyers now to fight back.
