The man who ran the historic race against Assembly of First Nations Chief Shawn Atleo in 2009 is seeking the job as head of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations. Perry Bellegarde from Little Black Bear First Nation went a record 24 hours in voting rounds in that contest, and is now on the campaign trail running against Delbert Wapass from Thunderchild First Nation and Morley Watson of the Ochapowace First Nation. Watson is serving as interim chief of the FSIN. Bellegarde held the position of chief of the organization in the 1990s.
