The report finds that a large portion of the money for tribal necessities like health care, education, and economic well-being required under the Trust and Treaty Responsibility is dependent on annual action by Congress rather than being baked into the automatic allocations that other federal funding recipients enjoy. The report calls on a more reliable funding system for tribes.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nThe shutdown has prompted several tribes &#8212;  including the Spirit Lake Nation,  the Standing Rock Tribe  and Shawnee Tribe in Oklahoma &#8212;  to declare states of emergency, mainly because of the lack of food and winter heating assistance. \r\n<p><\/p>\r\nTune into Native America Calling to hear more about how the shutdown is grinding away at tribes\u2019 ability to help their citizens.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbrookings%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0DEKph4CdDmSLwwZBgjFDeVxocDSutZVU7h27GuN76DBpgKoovgyeV97KQgHRpXvFl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"544\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay;
