Chief Theresa Spence has reportedly been re-elected to a second three-year team as chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario.A final vote count is expected to be made public today.
Spence gained notoriety last winter for subsisting on fish broth and tea for six weeks as a form of protest during the rise of the Idle No More movement.
The election went ahead Tuesday despite a call from The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples to postpone it until all members living off-reserve had a chance to vote.
