President Joe Biden signed an executive order during the White House Tribal Nations Summit that his administration says will provide tribes with better access to federal funds as part of the ongoing efforts to “heal the wrongs of the past”. Other topics at the summit centered on consultation, climate change, the scourge of fentanyl, and President Biden’s endorsement of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy lacrosse team competing under their own flag in the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. We’ll talk with tribal leaders about the summit and the Biden Administration’s track record on its nation-to-nation relationship with tribes.
