Tribes push for exemption from funding freeze

The Coalition of Large Tribes has passed a resolution urging an exemption for tribal nations from federal funding freezes, emphasizing treaty obligations and the government-to-government relationship. The move follows concerns over a White House directive that temporarily halted financial assistance programs, disrupting essential tribal services. While the directive was later rescinded, some tribes continue to face funding issues. U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski has echoed COLT’s call for exemptions.
