Tribes donated $400K to 2012 Democratic National Convention
Thursday, October 18, 2012
Four tribes donated a total of $400,000 for the 2012
Democratic National Convention
, the Associated Press reports.
The
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
in North Carolina, the
Chickasaw Nation
of Oklahoma, the
Muckleshoot Tribe
and the
Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation
each gave $100,000, according to records filed with the
Federal Election Commission

The AP story appears to treat the tribal donations the same as corporate donations even though tribes are governments.
The convention took place in North Carolina in September.
