How federal cuts affect Native veterans
Military veterans make up just under a third of the thousands of federal job cuts that the White House has imposed since January 2025.
On top of that, the Trump Administration indicates it intends to cut 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Join Native America Calling to explore how those cuts are being felt by the population that traditionally has the highest military participation compared to any other group.
