Tribal leaders and federal officials participate in a panel titled “Investing in Indian Country” at the White House Tribal Nations Summit.

Participants include:

• Liz Carr, Tribal Adviser to the Director, White House Office of Management and Budget
• Stephanie Bryan, Chair, Poarch Band of Creek Indians in Alabama
• Stephen Roe Lewis, Governor, Gila River Indian Community in Arizona
• Andrea Palm, Deputy Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services
• David Turk, Deputy Secretary, Department of Energy
• John Podesta, Senior Adviser, White House

Due to an issue with the power in the building, starting at about 40 minutes into the panel, some of the speakers were difficult to hear. The issue was addressed after a few minutes.

The summit took place at the main building of the Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C., on December 9, 2024.
