Arana, a transgender man who is a member of the Blackfoot-Pikuni tribe, had his name removed from the cover of the report and relegated to the fourth page in the acknowledgements section.
Arana spent a year working on the report with Native American community members. According to Ramon and Kim Shuck, a former Native American studies professor at San Francisco State University, after Arana's name was removed from the cover of the report he filed a discrimination claim against the HRC.
