Millions Sinking into the Rabbit Hole of Indian Country Non-Profits |
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Update March 7, 2024
Non-profits in Indian country have stashed hundreds of millions of dollars in bank accounts, real estate and investments -- money not being distributing to those it was intended for.
Censored News ongoing investigation reveals:
-- The non-Indian daughters of the sculptor at Crazy Horse Memorial had a combined salary of a half million dollars
-- The First Nations Development Institute in Longmont, Colorado, has $44 million stashed in investments
-- NDN Collective ended the last tax year with $100 million in its bank accounts and assets
It is the best kept secret in Indian country.
Censored News year long investigation found a quarter of a billion dollars donated to a handful of non-profits in Indian country. A large portion has not been distributed. It is stashed in the non-profit's salaries, bank accounts, real estate and stock investments. The real estate is often placed in a spin-off business where it can be sold.
The salaries are $100,000 to $300,000 for executives, with money flowing to family members, and lavish travel expense accounts. Some are operated by frauds. Peoples names and causes are used without their knowledge for grants.
College professors and non-profits often plagiarize and profiteer with testimony at the United Nations. Some are selling ceremonies in other countries. Some are promoting "spiritual traditional" leaders who have been exposed as frauds.
Klee Benally, Dine', exposed the exploitation and failed colonial logic of the non-profit industry in his book, published shortly before he passed in December.
Klee writes, "soon enough there won't be any more battles left to lose."
