The Office of the Inspector General at the Department of the Interior plans to release investigations into violence at Bureau of Indian Affairs schools and Indian royalty collections, Indian Country Today reports.
The violence investigation will focus on schools managed by tribes under self-determination contracts.
Inspector General Earl E. Devaney reviewed schools managed by the Bureau of Indian Education and found they weren't prepared for violence.
The royalty collections report focuses on the Royalties Initiative Group at the Minerals Management Service.
“Do I think there are problems collecting royalties on Indian lands? Yes. Has anyone ever looked at it? No," Devaney tells ICT.
Both reports will be released in December, after the election.
