BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCES $11 MILLION TO SUPPORT MULTILINGUALISM IN SCHOOLS<\/div>\r\nThe U.S. Department of Education (Department) announced over $11 million in grants to support the recruitment and retention of bilingual and multilingual educators and provide high quality programming to Native students in an effort to strengthen and revitalize Native American languages.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n\u201cBeing multilingual is a superpower\u2014a powerful asset that can connect students to their identity and culture, and gives those who speak more than one language cognitive, social, and economic benefits,\u201d said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, \u201cThe investments we\u2019re announcing today advance our goal of providing every student in America with a pathway to multilingualism by supporting the recruitment, preparation, and retention of amazing bilingual and multilingual educators\u2014some of the best teachers in our nation, period. They also support the revitalization of Native American languages, a reflection of this Administration\u2019s commitment to Tribal sovereignty and consultation in education.\u201d\r\n

4. WORTH A LISTEN:<\/EM><\/div>\r\n
TRIBAL NATIONS ARE FILLING GAPS WHILE A USDA FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM STRUGGLES<\/div>\r\nThe USDA\u2019s Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, better known as FDPIR, serves as an alternative to food stamps for eligible families living in tribal communities. Instead of receiving a debit card to use at the grocery store, they pick up a box of groceries every month from their local distribution center. \r\n

<\/P>\r\nBut changes to the program\u2019s distribution model have caused a summer of delays and canceled deliveries, and tribal governments are filling the gaps. \r\n

<\/P>\r\nBack in February, the USDA told tribal leaders it was consolidating the FDPIR supply chain from two warehouses serving tribes all over the country to just one. \r\n

<\/P>\r\n\u201cWe just thought, \u2018Wow. That\u2019s an undertaking like no other,\u2019\u201d said Mary Greene Trottier, who runs the Spirit Lake Tribe\u2019s commodity program. \r\n

<\/P>\r\nStarting in June, she said deliveries have been arriving weeks late \u2014 if at all. \u201cI don\u2019t want our program to suffer and see us running out of food. We immediately came up with Plan B.\u201d\r\n
