Finance Department

The Finance Department manages the Tribe’s financial operations, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and compliance with all funding requirements. Core responsibilities include budgeting, financial reporting, grant and contract compliance, and long-term financial planning to support the Tribe’s priorities and services.

 

The Department works closely with Tribal programs—including housing, transportation, Indian Child Welfare, Tribal Employment Rights, and the Tribal Court—to provide financial oversight and support. By maintaining sound financial practices, the Finance Department helps ensure the Tribe’s resources are managed responsibly for the benefit of current and future generations.
