Alaska tribes join lawsuit to block Alaska Native corporations from receiving COVID-19 aid
The lawsuit was filed in the district court of Washington D.C. on Friday by the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, the Tulalip Tribes and the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians. The tribes from Washington and Maine are joined by three Alaska tribes: Akiak Native Community, Asa’carsamiut Tribe and Aleut Community of St. Paul Island.
The six tribes are suing U.S. Treasury Department Secretary Steve Mnuchin, arguing that for-profit Alaska Native corporations should not receive a share of the CARES Act. They are also seeking a temporary restraining order to stop the funding from being allocated on April 26, until the questions of eligibility can be resolved.
According to the lawsuit, the language of the bill is unambiguous that CARES Act funding should only go to tribal governments. As Alaska Native corporations aren’t tribal governments, they shouldn’t qualify, the lawsuit states. [read more.]

As of today (April 16), the total dead attributed to the COVID-19 is 32,917, 80% of whom are 65 or older. That’s if you can trust the figures . . . there is now a bounty being paid for COVID-19 diagnosis. Now, you know why the testing is going into overdrive across the country.
The federal government’s recent stimulus included payments to hospitals ranging from $12,000 to $300,000 per patient diagnosed with COVID-19. This is a powerful incentive to ignore the actual cause of death and to insure payment for any death... [read more]
