The near future for White House-tribal relations
Tribal leaders are heading to Washington, D.C., for President Joe Biden’s last White House Tribal Nations Summit.
The gathering is touted as a chance for tribal representatives to interact with Administration officials and gauge progress and hurdles when it comes to the federal government’s trust responsibility. The future of the regular meetings with the executive branch is uncertain.
In his previous term, Donald Trump chose not to convene regular meetings with tribes.
Join Native America Calling to get a preview of the upcoming summit and assess the potential for future interactions with the White House.
