    Ahenakew, 74, is a former head of the Federation Saskatchewan Indian Nations and a former chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
    In 2005, he was convicted of willfully promoting hatred against Jews and fined $1,000 for comments he made to a reporter following a First Nations conference in Saskatoon in 2002.
    He said Nazi leader Adolf Hitler came in to prevent Jews from taking over Europe. He also referred to Jews as a "disease." The comments made headlines across the country and were widely denounced.
