RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — The recently removed president of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe is fighting to get his job back.

The Tribal Council on Tuesday ousted President Cyril “Whitey” Scott from office over alleged ethics violations. The council also banned Scott from running for any tribal office in the future.

Scott and his attorney tell the Rapid City Journal ( ) that his removal is politically motivated. They’re appealing his removal in the tribal court system, alleging that the council vote violated the tribe’s constitution.
