About 100 members of the Sisseton-Wahpeton tribe are expected to rally today to demand the removal of Tribal Chairman Michael Selvage, according to an article published this morning by North Dakota news Web site INFORUM.
Selvage is part of an inquiry from the Internal Revenue Service, the article reported. IRS investigators have requested financial documents related to tribal business operations from Jan. 2005 through Dec. 2009. They are specifically looking for information on dealings involving Selvage, Edward Red Owl and Red Shield, Inc. with tribal enterprises, including the Dakota Magic Casino, and the tribal college and housing program.
The rally, to take place at 10 a.m. at the tribe’s headquarters, was organized by Michael J. Roberts, who used to oversee the tribe’s casinos. He was fired last year after bringing allegations of financial wrongdoing to the tribal council, according to the article.
