Federal lawsuit claims BIA defrauding Shoshone-Bannock tribe members

POCATELLO, Idaho - A civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court Wednesday claims the Fort Hall Agency Bureau of Indian Affairs is defrauding members of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe.

The suit, filed by tribe member William Beasley, alleges outsiders are being admitted to the tribe and allowed to collect benefits intended for legal members.

“They're not born here. They don't have the Shoshone-Bannock descendancy,” said Beasley.

But Beasley claims the BIA is admitting them anyway.
