The largest First Nation in Manitoba has taken the unusual step of suing a former chief, alleging he mismanaged millions in band finances and made decisions that benefitted his own personal and business interests.
Peguis First Nation, two hours north of Winnipeg, is suing former chief Glenn Hudson on allegations he breached his duty to the band by awarding contracts to companies he had interests in, according to the statement of claim.
