A First Nation Band in British Columbia has been ordered by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to pay $30,000 including compensation for pain and suffering to a former Band council member after the Band’s longtime chief called her a “white bastard” in an email, as reported first by Blacklock’s Reporter.
“I resign. F—ing white bastards run it,” Raymond Morris, chief of the Nee Tahi Buhn Indian Band of Burns Lake, B.C., wrote in a 2014 email to a colleague.
The email addressed female Band council member Hayley Nielsen, who has status under the Indian Act but also has a caucasian father.
