Peigan Lonefighter Milton Born With A Tooth may be sentenced with input from a sentencing circle.

Court of Queen's Bench Justice Willis O'Leary agreed to meet with an expert on sentencing circles to decide if it should be used in sentencing Born With A Tooth.

The activist was convicted of five weapons and obstruction charges after he fired two shots in the air during a 1990 confrontation with RCMP at the Oldman River Dam on Peigan land in southwestern Alberta.

Justice O'Leary set Sept. 8 as the final sentencing day.
