Two officials with the Squamish Nation have now been relieved of their duties after an investigation found problems with how nearly $1.5 million was spent from an emergency fund.
The investigation looked into a series of cheques issued over the past two years from funds set up to help First Nation's members with emergencies such as rent, travel to funerals, or clothing.
But a third-party investigation concluded that almost $1.5 million was distributed with few records of how it was spent or why.
Most of that money was handled by Krissy Jacobs, the Squamish Nation's former manager of communications and band services, who was removed from her position in September.
The band says she kept no records at all for how almost $1 million was distributed.
The investigation found the cheques were made out in her name and the elected band manager Glen Newman.
The investigation says there's no 'direct evidence' they kept the funds, but concluded it was clear they handed out funds to develop political support from members.
Squamish Chiefs and Council says both have now been relieved of their duties.
Krissy Jacobs is no longer an employee of the band, and has been removed as co-chair of the Squamish Nations Chiefs and Council, and has lost all all authority over financial matters.
Glen Newman has been removed from his involvement in all financial matters, and as the authority over band emergency staff, and of his access to Squamish Nation computers.
Squamish Nation says it discovered the problem after it changed the way cheques were approved and issued and new control measures will provide better accountability.
