Last March Terry Nelson was ousted as chief of the Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation by the reserve’s custom council.

They called another election in October and Ken Henry Jr. was elected chief.

Both Nelson and Henry have been claiming to be the real chief ever since.

This week, Ottawa ordered a referendum to resolve the issue once and for all.
