The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin may remove tribal chairman Gerald Danforth. He is accused by tribal members of violating his oath of office. At issue is Danforth's handling of a casino profit distribution plan.

The vote will be held on Saturday to determine if the tribe will remove Danforth, who was elected last July.

A petition was submitted in February with 92 signatures. 50 are required to call a meeting over removing a chairman.
