Indian Tribe and the 2012 FEC election cycle

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.

150 contributions from 47 donors

Dividing $695,974 by 150 contributions yields about $4,640 per itemized gift. Dividing by 47 donors yields about $14,808 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.2. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

47 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Indian Tribe 2012 holds the rows.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Indian Tribe is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Indian Tribe to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $695,974 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 150 contributions, the 47 unique donors, and the 13.2% share of $5,258,880.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $695,974. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a tribal-government census and not a gaming NAICS total.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 47 donors, and 150 contributions. 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. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Indian Tribe and 2012 together

Start with $695,974, then Indian Tribe 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Indian Tribe, 2012, $695,974, 150 contributions, 47 donors, 13.2% of $5,258,880, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 13.2% share, the 47-donor count, and the $4,640 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
