‘Another Chief In Trouble’

“The executive council of the Assembly of ‘First Nations’ {Indian Tribes} has suspended Nova Scotia-Newfoundland Regional Chief Morley Googoo following the release of a report outlining how he discriminated against Mi’kmaq women.

“An A‘FN’ spokesperson confirmed Thursday that members of the organization’s executive met Wednesday in Vancouver and decided to suspend Googoo with pay…

“A September 2018 independent report commissioned by the ‘Tripartite Forum’ — an organization bringing together Mi’kmaq, provincial and federal government decision-makers — outlined how Googoo engaged in “direct discrimination” against former Nova Scotia Native Women’s Association President Cheryl Maloney. Maloney alleged that Googoo subjected her, and other women involved in the Tripartite Forum, to harassment and “gender-based bullying”, which contributed to an “unsafe work environment”, according to the report…

“In August, Maloney filed a series of complaints with the Canadian Human Rights Commission against executive members of the ‘Tripartite Forum’ and the ‘First Nations’, provincial and federal partners. She named Bellegarde, Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil and Crown-‘Indigenous’ {Aboriginal} Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett in her complaints.

“The well-know advocate for ‘First Nations’ {aboriginal} women’s rights told APTN last month that she filed the human rights complaints because the Tripartite Forum members knew about Googoo’s behaviour but did nothing to address it…

“There’s so much already in the public, in the news”,
she said, referring to assault charges against Googoo from a 2017 incident in Membertou ‘First Nation’. Those charges were later dropped after Googoo completed a ‘restorative justice’ program {Which obviously didn’t work!}…

“He has money to hire a lawyer”,
she said.
“I’ve been trying for a year to get a lawyer and I can’t. For one, I’m not suspended with pay. Two, nobody can take my case because they’re in conflict with either the federal government, provincial government or ‘First Nations’. So to me this just shows another imbalance of power between ‘indigenous’ {aboriginal} leaders and ‘indigenous’ {aboriginal} women.” …”

“The Assembly of ‘First Nations’ {‘Aboriginal Tribes’} executive committee has proposed a suspension of the assembly’s regional chief for Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Morley Googoo. Googoo is accused of bullying, harassing and discriminating against Cheryl Maloney, a former leader of the Nova Scotia Native Women’s Association, as well as discriminating against other Mi’kmaw women…

“The allegations against Googoo are contained in a 2018 independent report commissioned by the ‘Tripartite Forum’, a federal, provincial and Mi’kmaw government organization.

“Googoo has denied the allegations.

“Maloney declined an interview with CBC News on Wednesday, but said she has concerns for her safety and is in the process of applying for a peace bond against Googoo…”
