Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Chip Wadena, the tribal chairman of the White Earth Indian Reservation in upper Minnesota, was suspected for fraud and responsible for the disappearance of million of dollars coming from the casino revenues of the reservation. While many White Earth residents knew of his thievery, they also depend too much on the tribal government for jobs and housing to ever speak up. This is the story of two men, Lowell Bellanger and Eugene McArthur, who chose to take on Wadena and the corrupt election system he has perpetuated for more than twenty years. “Superchief” is a film about the end of a political dynasty in the White Earth Reservation in northwestern Minnesota, revealing the process by which a disempowered community reclaims its right to free speech and fair politics.
