Some First Nation leaders in southern Manitoba are calling for a summit on the leadership of their grand chief.

This is the second time a non-confidence vote has been requested during Jerry Daniels' leadership at the Southern Chiefs' Organization.

Other Indigenous political organizations and governments have also been in the news this week, dealing with questions around leadership.

Joining host Dennis Ward are Jennifer Laewetz, CEO of Paskwâw Strategies and Niigaan Sinclair, columnist with the Winnipeg Free Press.
