INDIAN TRIBE

Indian Tribe as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Indian Tribe and 2012 — sum to $695,974. 150 itemized contributions and 47 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Indian Tribe hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Indian Tribe is a generic employer or occupation grouping, not a BIA roster. Forty-seven donors and 150 lines in 2012 typed that generic phrase. Specific tribal names sit on their own employer pages. This join does not roll named communities into the generic string. Named tribal governments such as GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY, NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBE, and TRIBAL GOVERNMENT are other keys. This page is the generic two-word Indian Tribe string.

13.2% of the Indian Tribe roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,258,880 ($5.3 million). The 2012 slice of $695,974 is about 13.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 86.8%. Treating 2012 as the Indian Tribe FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,258,880 as the denominator for the 13.2% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $5,258,880.

Questions

How much did Indian Tribe donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $695,974 in itemized individual contributions for the Indian Tribe grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 150 contributions and 47 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $5,258,880 all-cycle figure.

What share of Indian Tribe FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,258,880. The 2012 cell of $695,974 is about 13.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 86.8% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Indian Tribe hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Indian Tribe donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Indian Tribe. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $695,974 from 47 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Indian Tribe 2012 join?

Open Indian Tribe 2012 for the cycle overlay, Indian Tribe for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
