The federal government has now begun posting the salaries of chiefs and councillors on First Nation communities.

Many First Nation governments have yet to file the documentation but Buffalo Point First Nation is among the first of over 600 communities across Canada to come into compliance with the new rules.

The Southeast community’s financial documents show that over $300,000 in remuneration and expenses were paid out to four council members. Chief John Thunder received $129,398, councillors Herman Green and Drew Thunder received 103,269 and $62,458 respectively. Honorary councillor, former chief Jim Thunder, also received $5,500.
