Hill, who served as chairman for three terms in the early 1990s, defeated six other candidates for the job. Turnout was the highest in the tribe's history, a spokesperson said.

Also elected were Kathy Hughes as vice chairwoman; Cristina "Tina" Danforth as treasurer and Patty Ninham-Hoeft as secretary. Five tribal council members were elected.
