"A recent vendetta against me for writing an article to newspapers in September has forced me to resign my position as the Turtle Mountain Reservation oil and gas specialist.

A recent "special" meeting request prepared by the tribe's vice chairman was put in place to rescind a consulting contract I have with the tribe.

This past week, I was discussing the meeting agenda with the vice chairman and a few other tribal leaders. A couple of discussions had taken place and the most recent conversation had the vice chairman mentioning I shouldn't have written an article that was published in newspapers. To this day, I do not know specifically what article he may be addressing. Currently, I am a freelance investigative reporter for our tribal newspaper and at times, I write an opinion to address important issues in our community."
