The Washington Monument is in the background. Federal agencies questioned how the Northern Arapaho government spent at least $3.4 million since 2007, but decided not to recover any of the money - and even increased funding.

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)ETHETE, Wyo. (AP) — American Indian tribes have been caught misappropriating tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, according to internal tribal audits and other documents. But federal authorities do little about it — due to a lack of oversight, resources or political will.
