The dispute between Chief Harley Frank and the Blood Tribe Council is still unresolved, more than a month after the conflict became public knowledge. Nor do efforts by tribal Elders seem able to help.

In the latest move to settle the conflict, a small group of the tribe's most respected Elders, including Hereditary Chief Jim Shot Both Sides, met at the reserve's seniors centre Friday, April 16. On their agenda was discussion of a proposed disbanding of current form of government and a partial return to an earlier practice.
