The Northern Arapaho Tribe is currently being sanctioned for not submitting their audits for the last couple of years, and the audits that were submitted, up to 2010, received poor marks. The audits found that everything from timely drawdowns to proper tracking of tribal and federal funds to a suitable Human Resources system that hired qualified workers and paid them appropriate wages were missing or lacking. The tribe put together a corrective action plan after the 2009 audit. Former Director of a Women, Infants, and Children program on the reservation, Cindy Washakie, says one of the main issues was that federal money intended for specific programs was being mixed with tribal money and used up for other expenses.Get the Story:
