Chief of Peguis First Nation defends salary

Glenn Hudson, chief of the 7,000 member Peguis First Nation in the interlake region of Manitoba, says his pay used to be "a bit high" but is now $170,000 annually. Despite the paring down, this is still more than the Premier of Manitoba. And it's tax-free. Colin Craig of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation comments in this report.

This is terrible.

How natives all across Canada (including chiefs) complain of the gap between them and common Canadians because of the "white man"... yet they are doing this. Have some accountability and stfu and stop complaining until you start using something that every human has the ability to do: self preservation. Along with some hope they have some morals when doing it.
