The Biden administration is holding a briefing to inform tribal leaders about the fiscal year 2022 budget request for Indian Affairs programs at the Department of the Interior.
Bryan Newland, a citizen of the Bay Mills Indian Community who serves as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs at Interior, will host the call. It takes place from 1pm to 2pm Eastern on Wednesday afternoon.
“The President’s FY 2022 budget request for Indian Affairs recognizes that key to building back better in Indian Country are serious investments that support tribal self-sufficiency, self-determination, and sovereignty,” Newland said in a news release.
“It ensures that Indian Affairs’ mission of service to tribes continues and supports its role in maintaining DOI’s nation-to-nation relationship and trust responsibilities,” added Newland, who has been formally nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs.
