The leader of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota has been suspended again. Chairman Bruce Renville told the Associated Press that the tribal council suspended him on Monday for unspecified reasons. He's due to appear for a removal hearing on November 17. Renville was suspended in September after ordering tribal employees to take drug tests. He was reinstated later that month after the public rallied to his side. Get the Story:
