A self-appointed "chief for life," who named his wife as successor upon his death to keep the leadership of a small First Nation in northern Ontario within his family, has been ousted following a Federal Court ruling delivered Thursday.
The ruling comes amid a years-long struggle between hereditary chief Edward Machimity, his family and community members of the Ojibway Nation of Saugeen who were stymied at every turn to challenge decades of hereditary rule and establish an election code.

A First Nations man who police say travelled around Saskatchewan as a “traditional healer” has pleaded guilty to 11 counts of sexual assault, the prosecutor has confirmed.
Cecil Wolfe, 60, remains free on bail pending a sentencing hearing in October.
The charges span a nine-year period between 2013 and 2021.
Wolfe was the subject of a joint investigation by the RCMP and Saskatoon Police Service, who believe there could be more victims.
