More than $32 billion is directed toward assisting American Indian nations and communities as they work to end and recover from the devastating COVID-19 pandemic \u2013 which was made worse in Indian Country precisely because such funding has been so long overdue.<\/p>\n<p>From setting tribal priorities, to building infrastructure, to managing and sustaining projects, ARPA presents an unprecedented opportunity for the 574 federally recognized tribal nations to use their rights of sovereignty and self-government to strengthen their communities. As the tribes take on the challenges presented by the Act, the Ash Center\u2019s <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/hpaied.org\/\">Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development<\/a> presents a series designed to assist tribes, to help tribes learn from each other and from a wide array of guest experts.<\/p>\n<p>This first session, titled \u201cHow Tribal Governments Can and Can\u2019t use ARPA\u201d will feature:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Joseph P.
