FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2002 The Crow Tribe of Montana will hold its first primary election in history tomorrow. Tribal members with felony convictions are not being allowed to run. That knocks former chairwoman Clara Nomee from the list. She was convicted in 1998 by a federal jury of misusing her position to buy land at below market value. Also excepted is former chairman Richard Real Bird. He was convicted in 1990 of federal fraud and embezzlement. Former chairman Clifford Bird in Ground has pleaded guilty to a federal felony. He resigned from his post in September after being indicted for briber. Thirteen candidates are vying to be his replacement. Get the Story:
