Members of Chippewa Cree Tribe frustrated with their leaders
Posted: Wednesday, March 30, 2011
Some members of the Chippewa Cree Tribe of Montana are upset with the way their leaders are running things.
Some say the tribal council salaries should be put to a reservation vote. Theron Oats says the $125,000 salary is too high.
"We're the ones that voted our councilmen in here," Oats said at a meeting, KRTV reported. "Why can't we vote for their salaries?"
Other tribal members say more money should be put into crime prevention and education.
