Last week, President Biden signed a temporary funding bill that will prevent a government shutdown until after the holidays. In a 87-11 vote, the Senate passed a stopgap funding bill, after receiving the Continuing Resolution (CR) from the House, where the legislation passed with a 336-95 vote.

The CR, considered a “clean” CR due to lack of funding cuts, is a two part measure that extends funding for select agencies including military construction, veterans’ affairs, transportation, housing and the Energy Department till January 19th. The rest of the government will be funded until February 2nd.

This event culminates the Center for Indian Country Development’s (CICD’s) 2023 webinar series: Cultivating Native Economies in the 21st Century. The series provides tribal leaders, policymakers, and practitioners with information they can use to strengthen and expand Indian Country economic prosperity.

The December 13 event will feature conversations with tribal leaders, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who are strengthening their collection and use of data—in ways that honor tribal data sovereignty. Speakers working with tribal governments, Alaska Native Corporations, and Native Hawaiian Organizations will reflect on what data are still needed to provide a more complete picture of Indian Country.

CICD staff will also demonstrate new data tools available for understanding local and national economic conditions and opportunities.
