Darrell "Chip" Wadena, Sr. (November 11, 1938 – June 24, 2014) was an American Ojibwe tribal executive.
He served in the United States Army, worked at the American Crystal Sugar Company, and in construction.
[1] In 1996, Wadena was convicted in the United States District Court of bribery, conspiracy, theft, embezzlement, and money laundering, for which he served two years in prison.
Dissatisfaction with his leadership, and suspicions of corruption, led to a 1990s campaign by other White Earth Band of Ojibwe members to end his tenure on the council.
