Members of the M�tis Nation of Saskatchewan are staging a sit-in to protest the election of Dwayne Roth as their president.

The 15 people are occupying the offices of M�tis Employment and Training of Saskatchewan Inc. They want the Canadian government to take over the training program and put it into receivership. They also want a new election called.

Roth claims to be the legitimate leader but a government report found irregularities in the election. The Metis Nation has lost all government funding as a result.
