GAO reportedly looks at funding for state recognized tribes
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
The
Government Accountability Office
is reportedly looking into federal funds that are provided to state recognized tribes.
Rep. Dan Boren
(D-Oklahoma) reportedly asked for the study. A draft was completed but his office declined to release it to The Oklahoman.
One impetus for the study appears to be the
Lumbee Tribe
of North Carolina, which recently received ore than $13 million in federal housing funds. The award dwarfs the amounts given to federally recognized tribes.
