Chiefs want David Harper to resign for accepting money from nuclear waste organization
A northern Manitoba First Nation is joining the call for David Harper to resign as grand chief of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak over concerns that he accepted money from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.
The Manto Sipi Cree Nation in God’s River, Man., says it does not endorse the $312,689 agreement that Harper recently signed with the organization.
Harper told CBC News last week that the money is going toward educating his citizens about the risks involved with nuclear waste. The funds were not accepted in agreement to store waste, he added.
