Wikileaks countered the soft shoe approach of the Panama Papers and questions the motives of failing to expose US individuals involved in offshore accounts.
Censored News wants access to the full set of data. No one who has the data now knows the secret players in Indian country.
One man in a key trial in Indian country admitted lying under oath and hiding millions in an offshore account.
Also, there are billions unaccounted for from casinos in Indian country. The lobbyists and investor billionaires should be tracked.
Then there are the payouts of the Cobell settlement. Non-Indian attorneys received the largest payout, while Native Americans who were swindled out of oil and gas royalties were swindled a second time by the US and these attorneys.
The Panama Papers reveal fortunes hidden in the names of wives of corrupt politicians and corporations.
No one who has the data now is familiar with the wives in Indian country.
Finally, Native Americans from one tribe want to know what has happened to the revenues absorbed by their "globe trotting chief" who heads a global corporation with offices around the world.
The commercial media in Indian Country is not likely to do any serious investgative reporting. The national news in Indian country is controlled by casino dollars and relies primarily on copy and paste, plagiarism and rewrites.
So, allow Censored News and our fellow news publishers, which includes Mohawk Nation News, access to this data.

SECRET KLAMATH DAM DISCUSSIONS-PART ONE
Tribal members not informed of recent talks

Upper Klamath Basin, April 5th 2016-

Amid a busy campaign season both nationally and locally, water issues remain a top priority to Klamath Tribal members. New candidates have been nominated in hopes to bring positive change in Indian Country. And water, the foundation of Klamath culture, is a primary part of the main discussion.

             The false impression has been given that all Klamath Tribal members support yet another new water settlement, though it has not been discussed by membership. Some are not even aware this new settlement exists.
As stated in a recent Klamath Tribes news release sent out by Taylor Tupper-David, March 31st 2016, "The Klamath Tribes have the option of joining as a party if we (the General Council) decide that it is in the best interest of the Klamath Tribes to do so.

Tribal representatives from the Klamath Tribes, Karuk Tribe, Hoopa Valley Tribe and Yurok Tribe have attended discussions about this draft amended KHSA in order to protect tribal interests, but neither the other tribes nor the Klamath Tribes are currently parties to the agreement.

The non-tribal parties understand and accept that each Tribe has to go through its own unique Constitutional process to determine whether to participate as a Party to the Agreement. The Amended KHSA does not require any Tribe to participate as a Party."

Representative Doug LaMalfa raised concerns regarding Klamath Dam Removal Meetings being held is secrecy. The following is an excerpt and link to the online record of a House of Representatives meeting that took place March 3rd, 2016:
