A community stands divided on the Buffalo Point First Nation in the southeastern corner of Manitoba with a sit-in at the band office.
On one side the unelected hereditary Chief John Thunder is determined to make his band a model of economic development.
On the other ordinary men and women fear their traditions and lands are being sold out. They believe Buffalo Point is being run as a dictatorship.
Thunder promises to have the protestors removed that have been in the office for three weeks as of Friday. He’s even gone as far as saying he will have them evicted from their homes.
APTN National News reporter Ntawnis Piapot looks further at the growing problem.
