ANADARKO, Okla. — Supporters of a woman who says she is the rightful governor of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes protested Tuesday outside a regional Bureau of Indian Affairs office in Anadarko, urging the agency to quickly resolve a tribal dispute in her favor.
But a BIA deputy regional director told The Associated Press it’s unlikely the power struggle between former political allies Janice Boswell and Leslie Harjo will be settled soon because the matter is tied up in an appeals process. Boswell has remained in office as governor, even while Harjo maintains that’s now her job and seeks recognition by the BIA.
“We hope that maybe some change or understanding will come about to resolve the dispute within the tribe,” said Terry Bruner, the deputy regional director for Indian services for the BIA’s Southern Plains Region.
