Members of the Caddo Tribe of Oklahoma staged a "sit-in" at tribal headquarters on Wednesday night as rival factions disputed the nature of the protest.

Chairwoman LaRue Parker made claims of violence, armed guards and threats. But others, including council members whose legitimacy is questioned by Parker, said they were only trying to have a meeting when Parker's "henchmen" roughed them up.
