Here is the pleading in United States v. Buchanan (W.D. Mich.):
From the GTB press release:
November 24, 2015, Peshawbestown, Michigan. On November 23, 2015, the United States filed a “Felony Information” against the former Information Technology Director of GTB, Michael Buchanan, alleging embezzlement from an Indian tribal organization, 18 U.S.C. 1163. The Felony Information is the result of extensive investigatory work by GTB’s Police Department in cooperation with the FBI. GTB anticipates that Mr. Buchanan will be arraigned on Monday at 2:00 p.m. in the Federal District Court in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The alleged scope of GTB’s loss is extensive, $233,176.12, which is the value of computer equipment purchased by Mr. Buchanan and resold to third parties over the time period 2008-2012. GTB anticipates that Mr. Buchanan will not contest the charges. Further information will be provided after the arraignment and further criminal court proceedings.

Here is “Ardith ‘Dodie’ Harris Died Aug. 1, 2015.”
Dodie lived an incredible life, leading the charge to federal recognition, leading the tribe as chair and as councilor, testifying before Congress and in federal court. Sad time.

An excerpt:
AS RESPECTED TRIBAL ELDER AND FORMER TRIBAL CHAIRMAN (LITTLE TRAVERSE BAY BANDS OF ODAWA INDIANS) FRANK ETTAWAGESHIK ONCE STATED, “THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT DEFINING ELEMENT OF THE PLACE WE LIVE, WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE UNIQUE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, IS THE GREAT LAKES AND THE WATERS THAT RECHARGE THESE LAKES FROM THE SPRINGS, CREEKS, STREAMS AND RIVERS THAT MAKE UP THIS VAST WATERSHED. WE SPEAK FOR AND HONOR THE WATERS AS THE LIFE-BLOOD OF OUR MOTHER EARTH AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR TRADITIONAL SPIRITUALITY. AS NATIVE NATIONS WE UTILIZE THESE WATERS TO DEFINE OUR BOUNDARIES, TRANSPORT OURSELVES AND TRADE GOODS, FISH FOR OUR FOOD AND COMMERCE, AND ENJOY THEIR VALUE FOR RECREATION AND A STRONG ECONOMY.”
