The Metis Nation of Alberta is mourning the loss of its president. Larry Desmeules died suddenly in his home in the early morning hours of Feb. 24.

"This is going to be quite a blow to Metis society at large," said Metis historian Terry Lusty. "They're not going to be easy shoes to fill."

"Look how he developed and extended the Metis nation. Who before him has

ever accomplished the same feats?"

No further details were available at press time. An in-depth look at the man and his accomplishments will be in the March 15 issue of Windspeaker.

The conflict between the Roseau River band council and reserve police has resulted in a vote of no confidence for the band's chief.

Chief Lawrence Henry was ousted Feb. 16 in a unanimous vote by members

of the reserve's Custom Council, the band's vice-chief said.

Eleven council members, each representing a single reserve family, voted unanimously to remove Henry as chief and to allow the four Dakoka-Ojibway Tribal Council police officers back on the reserve, John James said.
