Council of Snoqualmie Tribe considers removing hereditary chief

Thursday, July 21, 2011  

Leaders of the Snoqualmie Tribe of Washington might remove outspoken hereditary chief Jerry Enick from his post.

Enick has been critical of the sitting council members for delaying a scheduled election. He also blasted them for passing a resolution that legalized marijuana -- although the move was meant as a joke.

Council members have asked Enick to appear at a meeting today. He previously said he was going to present a petition for their removal but is holding off, The Snoqualmie Valley Star reports.
