Two council members for the
Lac du Flambeau Band of
Lake Superior Chippewa of Wisconsin were removed on Friday.
Fellow council members ousted Jerome "Brooks" Big John and Tom Maulson at a special meeting. It's not clear why the two were removed.
Maulson is a former president of the tribe and one of the five named plaintiffs in the
Cobell trust fund lawsuit. He has criticized the way the tribe's finances have been handled.
