The Innu Nation of Labrador is coming under fire over the way some band leaders are spending money.

An accountant hired by the Natuashish band council found numerous problems. Council members took blank checks for travel, took money directly from the band's accounts and paid for travel of people not directly associated with the band, CBC News reported.

But the Canadian government said it hasn't found any problems. The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs also said it won't investigate the travel complaints.

The Natuashish band is one community of the Innu Nation.
