Saskatchewan may continue to be the home of the Chief of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), following the departure of Perry Bellegarde.
Wednesday and Thursday mark the election dates for the title, with polls on their third go-around heading into Wednesday evening.
Seventeen-year chief of the Muskowekwan First Nation, Reginald Bellerose, is hoping to secure the title and is leading through two polls.
“I’m feelin’ good. We’ve worked hard, our team, we’re really focused,” he told 650 CKOM early Wednesday afternoon at the Dakota Dunes Casino Bellerose’s campaign headquarters.
