"Biden's Executive Order Boosts Federal Funding for Native Americans"

President Joe Biden will sign an executive order aimed at improving access to federal funding for Native Americans and granting them greater autonomy over how to invest those funds. The order creates a clearinghouse for tribes to access federal funding and requests that agencies ensure funding is accessible and equitable. The administration also plans to announce agreements allowing tribes to manage federal lands and a study on Native American history. The Department of the Interior is finalizing revisions to a rule on repatriating human remains and sacred objects. The summit aims to provide meaningful conversations between tribal leaders and members of Biden's Cabinet.
