Transparency-accountability Chief's Salaries

Want to know where it boils out of?...INAC....Indian & Northern Affairs allows this type of corruption to exist. Where is the accountability in that?  I am a member of an Interlake Band (Pinaymootang First Nation). Our Interlake Reserves Tribal Council (IRTC) is an invisible organization; to me I look at it as 'organized crime'. When you approach the tribal council of enquiries, they tell you to go and ask your chief. This is not good governance, as the chief will not release any information. This organization is a flow through for INAC funding and does not benefit any IRTC community. Only the Chiefs and their families benefit from this organization. Can you imagine how many tax dollars line the Chief's pockets. This organization also has shares from the Tribal Council Investment Group; how much funding does IRTC recieved from TCIG annually? Only the Chiefs know. Our band members cannot access Economic Development Dollars from IRTC. When you approach INAC to access this information, they tell you to ask your chief. This is a dead-end road. I am sure that IRTC band members would like to know how much tax dollars are being spent combining band funds and IRTC funds on their Chiefs. How much is each Chief receiving annually from both these organizations combined?
