Native America Calling
May 18, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Today, May 18– Billions to the rescue
Tribal efforts to fight COVID-19, bolstering the Indian Health Service and tribal housing programs are among the biggest beneficiaries of the federal $31.2 billion coronavirus relief package approved in March. It is the largest chunk of money ever distributed to tribes from Congress. Authors of the bill hope to avoid the confusion from the last relief package over whether for-profit Alaska Native Corporations are eligible. We’ll talk with tribal leaders and others about how this round of funding could offset pandemic health and economic setbacks.
