A dispute between the chief of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and his opponents in some chartered communities within the American Indian tribe now involves investigations into alleged spending improprieties and possible impeachment.
Opponents of Principal Chief A.D. Ellis filed an impeachment petition with the tribe's election commission. The petition comes not long after Ellis issued executive orders last month that removed the control of gaming funds from six chartered Indian communities with gaming operations.
