The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania has asked a state court to remove chief Wayne Posten from office.

The lawsuit claims Posten was elected fraudulently. Tribal members say he sent ballots only to people he knew would vote for him.

Posten, an advocate for state recognition, says he is the rightful leader. He attended the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., and identified himself as the Lenape's chief.

The Lenape Nation is one of several groups claiming Lenape descent in the state.
