Geri Small, the first woman president of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of Montana, was suspended without pay by the tribal council on Tuesday.

The vote was 5-4 with two members absent. Critics said Small has driven the tribe into debt of at least $1.3 million.

Small said she is asking the tribal court to stop the action. In the last year of her four-year term, she said her opponents are going after her for personal reasons and because she is a woman.
