Chiefs remove four Northern Cheyenne Council members
Traditional Northern Cheyenne Chiefs reportedly removed four council members at a February meeting, citing missed meetings, with no official notice reported
A group of traditional Northern Cheyenne Chiefs removed four tribal council members during a February meeting, according to Native Sun News. The officials targeted for removal were Tory Davies and Rueben Roundstone of the Busby District and Cory Spotted Elk and Wade Red Hat of the Lame Deer District. The chiefs reportedly acted because the council members missed too many meetings.
Native Sun News reported there has been no official notice of the action. Llevando “Cowboy” Fisher, a two-term former tribal president, and Lynwood Ewing, a former council member and tribal treasurer, verbally confirmed the removals to activist Amanda White Shirt, Native Sun News reported. President Gene Small did not provide an official comment, and council members removed from office were not present at a Feb. 17 council meeting.
