First Nations leaders in Manitoba are calling on two Parks Canada employees to be fired over an offensive e-mail circulated through their government accounts.
The employees were disciplined for the e-mail that made fun of Native people, CBC News reported. But Grand Chief Morris Swan Shannacappo of the Southern Chiefs Organization says that's not enough.
"I want to see termination. I want to be able to see these people fired. If any of my staff used the vulgar language that was used in this email, I would fire them on the spot,"
Shannacappo told CBC News.
