An advocacy group representing First Nations in Manitoba has appointed a temporary leader while the organization investigates a formal complaint against a prominent chief.
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs says Eric Redhead will take on the role of acting grand chief.
Arlen Dumas was suspended from the position last week after the organization said a senior staff member had filed a formal complaint against him.
