Native America Calling: Preparing for Donald Trump’s ‘first day in office’
President-elect Donald Trump has promised at least 100 executive orders as soon as he takes office.

Many of those are, in his words, aimed at undoing “much of what Biden did” over the last four years. Tribes and Native organizations are preparing to fight, and in some cases benefit from, what they expect based on Trump’s comments and his record during his first term.

Tune into Native America Calling look at what those expectations are — from fewer protections for important land to greater access to extraction resources.
