Chairman once ousted regains Blackfeet Nation post


William "Allen" Talks About has regained the chairmanship of the Blackfeet Nation's tribal council.

Talks About had been removed from the post in January 2003. He said he was ousted because he was investigating corruption within the tribe.

Patrick "Pat" Thomas was named vice-chairman of the council.
