TAKEN TO COURT FOR LACK OF FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Harrison Thunderchild says he really didn’t want to have to take the Thunderchild First Nation, of which he is a member, to court.
After all, his nephew is the band chief. And he has other relatives on the council.
But as questions in the community swirled about the way the First Nation, located about an hour north of Battleford, Sask., was handling its finances, and band leaders allegedly refused to disclose basic financial records, Thunderchild says he was left with no choice.
