Empowering Native American Sovereignty – Positive Federal Actions Under the Trump Administration
Trump administration has taken decisive steps to bolster tribal sovereignty and economic growth. Initiatives include historic land transfers—such as 680 acres for the Spirit Lake Nation—innovative health and safety programs, and enhanced transparency in federal spending. Notably, DOGE is now posting daily payment records from the Program Support Center, with over $1.1M in Indian Health Service grants already listed. Federal leaders like FBI Director Kash Patel and HHS Director Robert Kennedy Jr have underscored these transformative measures that empower indigenous communities and reinforce long-overdue federal support.
