Indigenous Kinship Collective issues statement about finances and founder

The Indigenous Kinship Collective of New York City broke a self-imposed social media silence and issued a statement about the group’s fundraising activities and its founder, following the publication of an Indianz.Com investigation into Regan Loggans, also known as Regan de Loggans.
In a statement posted on Instagram on Sunday, the group expanded on its decision to stop raising funds. The group said it had distributed over $75,000 in the last couple of years and would stop after the final $988.33 was distributed.
“After 2 years, the time commitment has become unsustainable for the treasurers and other members regularly involved,” the statement read. “Also, we have collectively decided to do more on the ground community building.”
Addressing concerns raised on social media, the group said it would not disclose where any of the $75,000+ has been spent. Some of the followers of the Instagram account have been asking for “receipts” of the distributions. “Releasing names of people who needed funds is a breach of their privacy,” the statement read. “We do have a spreadsheet that we share internally. Any of the active members can view it.” According to the statement, the Indigenous Kinship Collective has about a “dozen active members.” Besides Loggans, who claims to have founded the co-founded the group, another prominent member is Korinna Emmerich, a prominent fashion designer in New York City who continues to assert a Native affiliation despite lacking ties to her claimed tribal nation. Emmerich had responded to the group’s February post about ceasing fundraising activities with a simple “heart” emoji.
