Native America Calling: What do tribes get from the massive federal infrastructure bill?
Tuesday, November 23, 2021
The $1 trillion infrastructure bill just signed by President Biden is an unprecedented infusion of federal funds for thousands of projects across the country.

Native America Calling will get a picture of the opportunities for what many tribes are calling a “historic” opportunity.
