BEND, Ore. (AP) - The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs has fired an official whose concerns led to a federal investigation.
The tribes’ director of human resources told The Bend Bulletin (https://is.gd/teT3b6 ) on Friday that secretary-treasurer Jake Suppah was let go.
Suppah was hired by the tribes in 2013 for the job that is comparable to a city manager.
The Warm Springs native told The Bulletin last month that he uncovered troubling financial patterns within the tribes, including theft of time, mismanagement of federal grants and missing funds.
The U.S. Department of Interior’s Office of Inspector General is now looking into the tribes’ financial matters.
