Official Statement from the Board of Directors: Natchitoches Tribe of Louisiana Nonprofit Corporation (NTL-NC)
Some of you may have seen recent statements circulating on unofficial Facebook pages—pages that falsely claim to represent Tribal Registry members—in which Mr. Anderson accuses the legally recognized 501(c)(3) Natchitoches Tribe of Louisiana Nonprofit Corporation (NTL-NC) of “stealing Tribal funds.”
These allegations are unequivocally false, reckless, and defamatory.
Following these accusations, NTL-NC was contacted by the High Crimes Unit of the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office regarding a reported theft complaint. Although the identity of the complainant was not disclosed, the NTL-NC Board of Directors responded immediately, acting with full transparency and in good faith.
Rather than present credible evidence through proper legal channels, Mr. Anderson further escalated his conduct by using social media platforms to encourage others to file theft complaints against NTL-NC without any factual basis. Simultaneously, the Facebook page promoting these accusations was made public while selectively blocking opposing viewpoints—creating a misleading, one-sided narrative designed to misinform the public.
In response, NTL-NC conducted a thorough internal review and compiled a comprehensive report, supported by all relevant state and federal documentation. This report was submitted to the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office and clearly demonstrates NTL-NC’s full compliance, financial accountability, and lawful management of all organizational funds.
NTL-NC has now received formal confirmation from the investigating officer that the complaint has been closed, with a determination that the matter is civil in nature and not criminal.
This outcome reaffirms what we have consistently maintained: there has been no wrongdoing by NTL-NC.
The Board of Directors remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the continued protection of the Nonprofit Corporation’s integrity. We, the Stewards, will not tolerate the spread of false and damaging statements and reserve all rights to pursue appropriate legal remedies to protect the Nonprofit Corporation in its mission, vision, values, and principles.
