A businessman won hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts to help Native Hawaiians. Instead, he spent the money on private jets, luxury homes, and polo horses. Even after his company was raided, the gov still gave him more contracts.
He Spent Funds Meant for Native Hawaiians on Polo and Porsches. The Federal Government Failed to Stop Him.
A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

I have finally finished my list of 12 essays by Indigenous trans women in North America (plus some extra audio/video links). Please please please spend some time getting to know their work. Too often people use Indigenous trans women as a figure to weaponize rather than sit and think with them.
