Kim Gauther was harassed at work by the parents of Officer Koski, who is
charges for destruction of property and other Fred Dakota supporters. These
people went to her place of employment and harassed the owner of the store

September 1997
Fred Dakota resigns.
Fred Dakota resigned from his position as CEO of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Tribe. Wayne Swartz has assumed that position.
