Confederation ownership & resources

Arm-of-the-tribe ownership. Single-member confederations include 30% KiKiallus ownership. Multi-member confederations may include 20–25% KiKiallus ownership (or 100% KiKiallus-owned). No confederation may hold less than 20% KiKiallus ownership without risking loss of arm-of-the-tribe status under long-standing case law principles reflected in starter operating agreements.
