The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) says an independent investigation has found Grand Chief Arlen Dumas engaged in workplace sexual harassment.
The investigation began in March 2022 following a complaint against the chief from an AMC staff member.
Dumas was suspended pending the results of the investigation, without pay.
According to the AMC, his suspension will remain in effect until a special Chiefs-in-Assembly meeting, where a vote for the removal of Dumas as Grand Chief will take place.
AMC says details uncovered during the investigation will not be made public.
In a release, the organization says “The AMC is committed to reflecting on and reviewing its workplace policies and practices to ensure the organization fosters a culture of support and respect.”
