Beth Drost, who has worked as a National Park Service ranger for the past 12 years, will become the next chairperson of the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa - the first woman ever elected to the post.
Drost defeated another woman - interim chair Marie Spry - in the July 1 election to replace longtime chair Norman Deschampe, who died unexpectedly in February after leading the band for 27 years.
