Reels, a council member, beat Charlene Jones, the tribal secretary, for the post. He is replacing longtime leader Richard A. �Skip� Hayward, who did not run for re-election.
Reels chaired the tribe during a tumultuous period in its history. Local officials and outsiders questioned the tribe's heritage and land purchases.
