The chief of Peguis First Nation in Manitoba.
… Documents provided to CBC News by the advocacy group the Canadian Taxpayers Federation show that the chief and four councillors of the Peguis First Nation were paid between $206,000 and $310,000 each last year.
The community is home to about 7,200 people and is located about 200 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
CBC…
Here’s the guy I’ll be replacing. (He’s caught up in some sort of scandal.)
My new house will have fast internet. The “Band” will pay for it. And by “Band”, I mean the Canadian Taxpayer.

It sucks to be a taxpayer. That’s why we don’t pay taxes on the Peguis First Nation.
What a sweet gig!
I’m so happy the white man invaded North America. Winnipeg’s mayor and Manitoba’s premier will make less than me. And they’ll pay taxes. Ha.
In fact, after he pays taxes (sucker) I’ll make more than Prime Minister Harper.
Of the 600+ recognized First Nations governments or bands in Canada, I want to be the highest paid. That’s my goal. I’ll decide my own salary once I get into power.
Please email Chuck Strahl, Minister of Indian Affairs, and lobby him on my behalf.
… If anyone else figures out what’s going on in that Manitoba First Nation, I may have competition for the job.
Worst case scenario? I’m screwed if the Feds decide to reveal the pay of Band leaders online.

Because the incomes are tax free, one needs to do the conversion before comparing the salaries with other politicians.
The conversions show 4/5 band council members made more than the Prime Minister of Canada. See here for details –
