Police called to FSIN over interim chief power struggle
A power struggle at the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) is leading to a showdown between two executive members for the position of interim chief.
Saskatoon police were called to the FSIN headquarters in Saskatoon on Monday to respond to a “disturbance” and to “keep the peace in an internal dispute.”
The issue arose after First Vice Chief Kimberly Jonathan laid claim to the title of interim chief as the election period for the organization opened.
However, official FSIN communications — including a tweet Monday and a press release Tuesday — have declared Fourth Vice Chief Heather Bear as the interim chief.
