David Harper is out, and Sheila North Wilson is in, after yesterday’s MKO Grand Chief Elections.
David Harper of Garden Hill First Nation was looking for a re-election despite the controversy surrounding him in the last year. He was eliminated after the first ballot.
North Wilson of Bunibonibee Cree Nation will now be the new MKO Grand Chief.
MKO is a non-profit organization that represents 30 first nation communities in the province.
She is the first woman to be elected to the position.
