Meeting minutes from the council he leads raise the prospect that the tribal government helped finance the purchase. It also appears the council publicly voted on key elements of the deal after the chairman had already taken ownership of the house. The house came with new flooring, a bar area and a pool and hot tub, according to the listing. It also features a balcony with views of the mountains and the Strip and a gourmet kitchen with black-granite countertops and marble-tile backsplash.
Fox paid far above what a typical buyer spends for a house in Las Vegas. The Review-Journal tried numerous times to interview Fox for this story and emailed him several questions. He never directly responded to the newspaper. The tribal government acquired the spread without concrete plans for the sites or public votes on most of the spending.

In , the year before MHA Nation started buying real estate in Las Vegas, a member of its tribal council outlined billions of dollars in spending needs to Congress that ranged from health care and housing to road construction and law enforcement. He also said tribal leadership makes investments to generate returns, helping them finance new facilities and services.
He also went on to buy a house in a gated community in the suburbs β a home that, according to the listing, came with designer choices from top to bottom. When the loan is paid off, the home is transferred to the borrower, Fox previously told the Review-Journal. The program currently serves around MHA members, and of those, are outside the reservation boundaries, including in other states, according to mortgage-program credit manager Valerie Mayer.
Also, at a Tribal Business Council meeting in February , the council took up a motion naming the title company that would handle a home purchase in Las Vegas for a borrower again identified only as Mark Fox.
