It's a good thing white supremacist Carney Norland disappeared immediately after his release from the Stony Mountain Penitentiary in Manitoba last week, the Grand Chief of the Prince Albert Tribal Council said.

The paroled Aryan Nations member had "something to fear" from both the Native community in Saskatchewan and white supremacist groups, said Alphonse Bird.

"Indian people have come to a state where they will not tolerate...racism. And individuals like this shouldn't be allowed to roam freely, promoting nothing but hatred against minorities."
