Chief Mi’sel Joe gets paid $100 per month as chief of the Miawpukek First Nation in Conne River.
His total salary is $73,950, but that’s because he’s also an administrator for the band; Joe said his actual salary for the job of chief is just $100 per month.
Even at $73,950, he seems to be the lowest-paid chief among Newfoundland and Labrador First Nations. Brendan Sheppard with the Qalipu Mi’kmaq First Nation is paid $94,042 and Andrew Penashue with the Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation is paid $173,704.
