Sisseton-Wahpeton chairman removed from office


J.C. Crawford, the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribe, has been removed from office on charges of misappropriation.

The tribal council voted 5-3 last Friday to remove Crawford. They said he misappropriated more than $698,000 over two years.

Crawford denied the charges and said the campaign against him was motivated purely by politics. �This was not an objective hearing,� he told a local paper. �Several of the council members went in there with premeditated decisions.�
