Pascua Yacqui tribe suspends chairwoman
The Pascua Yacqui tribe has suspended its chairwoman over allegations that she violated ethics policy.

The tribal council decided that Herminia Frias should be suspended from her duties for one year even though she has only 10 months left in her term as chairwoman.

Frias originally was accused of 22 violations of the tribe’s ethics policy by council members.

Frias plans to file an appeal in the tribal court system soon, according to her chief of staff Pilar Thomas.
