Protests against chief at Red Pheasant First Nation
A group of protesters are stirring up controversy on the Red Pheasant First Nation reserve near the Battlefords.
Several band members have set up camp outside of the band office demanding change. Meanwhile the chief and a few dozen elders hold discussions inside.
To Chief Stewart Baptiste and those inside the band office, the explanation for the protest is simple.
“They're not happy with how the election went, there's two other chiefs that are supported by the woman outside and I beat them out,” he explained.
