The Crow Tribe of Montana has asked the Interior Board of Indian Appeals to overturn approval of a drilling agreement.

New chairman Carl Venne contends the deal will rip off the tribe. It was signed by his predecessor, Clifford Bird in Ground, last year with Colorado-based Bill Barrett Corp. Bird in Ground is awaiting sentencing in federal court on unrelated fraud charges.
