The last B.C. First Nation has finally filed its 2013-14 First Nations Financial Transparency Act documents – more than a year late: Popkum. But we can now close the door on the 2013-14 fiscal year, and focus on the 2014-15 documents which are still trickling in.

The 2013-14 B.C. $100,000 Club (elected First Nations officials who made six figures):

• Willard Cook, chief, Semiahmoo, $267,309
• Paul Sam, chief, Shuswap, $202,413
• Alice Sam, councillor, Shuswap, $202,000
• Joanne Charles, councillor, Semiahmoo, $187,138
• Clarence Louie, chief, Osoyoos, $146,369
• Tina Sam, chief, Shxwha:y Village, $140,124

• Beverly Stager, councillor, Prophet River, $102,837
• Derek Orr, chief, McLeod Lake, $102,000
• Eric Wesley, councillor, Snuneymuxw, $314,801 ****Disclosure notes $307,201 for construction services, excluding cost related to delivery of those services. His take home will be far less presumably.

Bear in mind, this is all tax-free money. To take home $100,000 off-reserve in B.C. last year, you would have needed a gross income of $142,227.
