Two council members for the
Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa of Wisconsin face a special election on June 10 after being accused of disloyalty to the tribal government.
Tom Maulson and Jerome "Brooks" Big John have criticized other tribal leaders for the tribe's financial conditions. Both said they have a right to question the tribe's decisions.
"I really feel, like Brooks said, this is nothing but a witch hunt," Maulson told The Lakeland Times.
The council removed the men last week. The election will determine whether they can keep their jobs.
