Hess Bointy was removed as vice-chairman of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma but he still keeps office hours as if nothing happened.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has recognized an entirely new government. Bointy says he will fight for his position even if it means going to federal court.
But his detractors want to know where $488,000 in tribal money went. Bointy earlier said he withdrew the money to protect it during a hostile takeover. but now he claims he doesn't have access to it.
