Reforming Federal Funding and Support for Tribal Nations To Better Embrace Our Trust Responsibilities and Promote the Next Era of Tribal Self-Determination
This executive order directs federal agencies to reform how they administer funding and programs for Tribal Nations, with the goal of reducing bureaucratic burdens, increasing flexibility, and better fulfilling trust responsibilities. It mandates a multi-year assessment of unmet federal obligations led by OMB and the Domestic Policy Advisor, and requires agencies to streamline application processes, respect Tribal data sovereignty, and promote self-governance through compacts and co-management agreements.
