Elections of a new chief and council on Canada's largest reserve passed peacefully despite earlier rumors of violence from a splinter group upset with the band's management.
Former chief Roy Fox was soundly defeated at the polls, ending his 10-year career as leader of the southern Alberta reserve, gaining a mere 10 per cent of the popular vote.
Harley Frank, 43, was elected chief of the 7,000-member band and began his tenure reaching out to the Mohk-e-saun breakaway group.
