SEPTEMBER 13, 2000

The recently elected leaders of the Crow Tribe of Montana are experiencing growing pains in their new positions, as Secretary Tilton Old Bull, Sr. and the tribe appear to be at odds.

Old Bull wants more accountability of where money spent by the tribe is going. But he says he's encountered opposition from the rest of the tribe.

The tribe recently took away Old Bull's power to co-sign checks and contracts on behalf of the tribe. Old Bull says the meeting in which that power was taken away from him was illegal.

The tribe is getting ready to hold meetings to discuss Constitutional reform.
