Ex-head of Inter-Tribal Council going to prison for thefts that wrecked group

The former head of a once prominent Alaska tribal advocacy group is going to federal prison for stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the organization.

Steven D. Osborne, 44, of Fairbanks was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Anchorage to 21 months in prison for his theft of funds from the Alaska Inter-Tribal Council. He was executive director of the tribal council from December 2007 until February 2009 and admitted stealing about $145,000 during that time, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
