"It's up to the FBI to investigate the allegations of embezzlement or other possible wrongdoing at the Mid-America All-Indian Center.
It's up to Indian Center leaders, having already gotten the organization's nonprofit status restored, to see that bills are paid, employees' medical insurance is reinstated and other fiscal reforms are implemented, even as they conduct their own investigation into what went wrong.
It's up to officials with the city of Wichita to try to help center officials get back on track and ensure better oversight and accountability for what happens at the Indian Center in the future -- steps under way.
It will take all of the above actions and more to counter public distrust and reassure past and potential Indian Center donors."
