A number of tribes, Indian organizations and Alaska Native villages have failed to file disclosure reports that are required by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

In the last quarter, 99.5 percent of recipients filed spending reports. But of the 352 recipients that didn't, a significant number came from Indian Country.

According to the list, two dozen tribes from Alaska failed to file reports. That's 6 percent of all non-compliant recipients.

Several tribes also failed to file reports in the last quarter. They included Nambe Pueblo of New Mexico, San Ildefonso Pueblo of New Mexico and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota.

One tribe and one Alaska Native firm fell in a different category -- "Significant Non-Compliers." The Timbisha Shoshone Tribe of California was unable to file a report so the Bureau of Indian Affairs has frozen its funding.

EyakTek, a firm that has been under scrutiny for its success in government contracting, has refused to file reports altogether. The dispute will be heard by an administrative law judge.
