Leader of First Nations organization resists calls to resign post

Wednesday, February 16, 2011  

Guy Lonechild says he won't step down as chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations.

Lonechild was presented with a petition that seeks his ouster from the organization. Critics say he failed to disclose a drunken driving charge during the campaign for FSIN chief in October 2009.

Lonechild pleaded guilty and will be sentenced March 23.
