Crow candidate plans to sue tribe to get on ballot
Burton Pretty On Top plans to sue the Crow Tribe of Montana to run for chairman.

Pretty on Top currently lives off the reservation. He acknowledges a residency requirement in the tribal constitution but says he should be able to run because he has lived on the reservation in the past.

Eight candidates are vying for the position of chairman. Incumbent Carl Venne, whose administration Pretty on Top has criticized, is running for re-election.
