Roseau chooses new chief

Page 10

The Roseau River Band in southeastern Manitoba has a new chief.

Felix Antoine won the March 16 election with 114 votes, beating out former chief Lawrence Henry.

Henry, who had been on council for more than a decade, garnered 108 votes. Vice-chief John James received 52 and band member Mary Chaskey earned 18.

The race was not, however, as close as the numbers suggest because the 70 votes won by the other candidates could easily have gone to Lawrence, Chief Antoine said.

Pages 8 and 9

The chief of all chiefs has been speaking an hour or more about how he is going to change the nature of the Indian movement. The focus will shift from legal reform to practical reform; from the Constitution to community healing.

Ovide Mercredi is charting a dramatic new direction for the Assembly of First Nations, but there is a nagging sense of things unsaid. Something doesn't add up.
