Navajo officials not sorry for stealing money


Two former Navajo Nation chapter officials have failed to publicly apologized for stealing money.

Former Nageezi Chapter President Calvert Garcia admitted to taking more than $24,000 from the chapter. Former Chapter Service Coordinator Samuel Henry admitted to taking more than $20,000.

But when called to account for his actions, Garcia reportedly said, "It is not my fault." Henry didn't even bother to show up to a chapter meeting.

The Navajo Nation could further prosecute the men or turn the case over to federal authorities if they don't meet their end of a deal, a Navajo Nation Council delegate said.
