Recall petitions against the top two leaders of the the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians of Michigan have been approved.

Chairman Ken Harrington and vice chairman Dexter McNamara will face a recall election within the next 90 days. But Harrington is apparently going to file a challenge in tribal court.

Harrington and McNamara are newcomers to the tribal council and have been in office for just six months. But in that short time, critics say Harrington has overstepped his authority numerous times.
