Why this matters

Held in trust for every member — not for a few.

The Nation’s gaming revenue, its contracts, its land, and its name are shared resources. Elected leaders steward them on behalf of the people and answer to the people. When decisions are made out of public view, citizens have both the right and the responsibility to ask questions.

01
Stewardship

Shared resources must be managed for the whole Nation, not a privileged few.

02
Open contracting

Major decisions and contracts should withstand the light of public review.

03
Accountability

Those entrusted with authority answer to the citizens who granted it.

04
Right to know

Members are entitled to understand how their Nation is governed.

You are protected, and you are not alone.
