How much should I contribute?

 

To decide on a contribution amount, think about your relationship to broken treaty promises and about your activities on stolen land. Consider your own income, personal wealth, family wealth, and debt. Your contribution may be a larger catch-up payment or a smaller ongoing amount. Use these sample donation amounts to consider the cost of other taxes as you decide on your contribution.
