Former White Earth Chairman John Buckanaga and Tribal Council member Ralph Goodman tried to give themselves severance pay but were stopped short after current tribal officials discovered their plans.

At a council meeting in which two members out of 5 were not invited, Buckanaga was given approval for a $45,000 severance pay package and Goodman a $16,000 package.

Both were ousted in elections in June.
