Tribal President Suspended Unanimously | Pierre News

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s tribal council has unanimously suspended President Kathleen Wooden Knife—effective immediately—over serious allegations of misconduct, leadership failure, and abandonment of duties. The unpaid suspension sets the stage for a formal hearing on August 21, where her permanent removal will be decided. In the interim, Vice President Lisa White Pipe assumes leadership to ensure continuity. This move signals a major rupture in trust and governance, as the tribe moves forward with accountability amid a leadership vacuum.
