Tribal coalition urges administration to uphold trust obligations
A coalition of tribal organizations is calling on the administration to ensure recent executive actions do not undermine tribal sovereignty or disrupt federal funding for essential programs. While the Office of Management and Budget rescinded a funding freeze, concerns remain over how agencies will implement policies affecting healthcare, education, and economic development in tribal communities. The coalition emphasizes that these funds are legal obligations, not discretionary aid.
