The Indian Tribe grouping and the 2008 cycle intersect at $541,878 in itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. 118 receipts from 37 donors built that cell. The lifetime string INDIAN TRIBE is $5,258,880, which puts 2008 near 10.3% of the stored book. This is a two-dimension join, not a restatement of either hub, and not a tribal PAC, a named-nation census, or a government NAICS total.
Key figures
- Indian Tribe and 2008 meet at $541,878.
- 118 itemized contributions and 37 donors produced the cell.

Reading the Indian Tribe × 2008 cell
Lead with the number: $541,878. Then name both keys: INDIAN TRIBE and 2008. Then name the source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. 118 contributions and 37 donors are the volume fields that accompany the dollars. None of those fields names a recipient committee on this page. The join is itemized individual Schedule A activity only.
INDIAN TRIBE is a generic stored label. Named tribal governments are other employer keys and are not folded into this cell. The overlay path Indian Tribe 2008 is where rows can be inspected. The industry page Indian Tribe drops the year. The cycle page 2008 election cycle drops the employer string. All FEC ties indexes other joins.
Independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and unitemized gifts are outside $541,878. Mixing those tables with this cell would invent a total the packet does not publish.
Indian Tribe on the employer/occupation axis
Indian Tribe is employer/industry string as stored. Filers typed INDIAN TRIBE (or a string that grouped to it). TRIBE, TRIBAL GOVERNMENT, NATION, and named tribal governments remain other keys. Exact-match grouping is why a short label can look smaller than a reader’s mental sector. $541,878 counts only this key inside 2008. Named people are not invented here; the packet’s identity field is 37 donors.
The all-cycle figure $5,258,880 uses the same string with the year filter off. $4,717,002 sits in other cycles (89.7%). That remainder is not missing money; it is money tagged to other even-year windows on the Indian Tribe hub.

- No. The packet publishes a donor count, not names. 37 is an identity total for INDIAN TRIBE in 2008. Repeat gifts help explain 118 contributions versus 37 identities.
