Eastern Cherokees report campaign contributions

Monday, February 25, 2008  

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians has filed new campaign finance disclosure forms with North Carolina's Board of Elections.

The tribe had failed to disclose over $52,000 in campaign contributions to state politicians and parties. Some of the oversights were reported last year by The Asheville Citizen-Times

On the federal level, the tribe donated at least $103,000 last year, the paper reported. Most of the money went to politicians outside of North Carolina.
