Leaked letter leads to libel lawsuit
Page 1
Roy Whitney, chief of the Tsuu T'ina reserve near Calgary, is suing band member Bruce Starlight for defamation of character after obtaining a copy of a confidential letter Starlight wrote to Jane Stewart, minister of Indian and Northern Affairs. The letter accused Whitney and the Tsuu T'ina band administration of mismanaging reserve finances.
Starlight wrote the letter to the minister after several members of the Tsuu T'ina nation approached him with concerns about their community.
