How Indigenous families navigate settlement money and community benefit

Our family received a land settlement payment and we can't decide whether to distribute it equally among all family members or use it collectively for projects that would benefit the whole community, and the conflict is bringing up old resentments about who has contributed what to keeping our culture alive.
