Ronald "Lone Wolf" Champlain, chief of the Brothertown Indian Nation of Connecticut, has filed pappers with the state's Human Rights Commission, alleging he was fired from his job due to his race.

Champlain filed a claim against the owners of a video store in New London where he once worked. He believes the store also treated customers differently based on their race.

The tribe is not federally recognized. It is one of several Brothertown tribes around the country, whose ancestors were grouped together by the federal government.
