The next hearing in the CARES Act lawsuit takes place at 3pm Eastern on April 24, 2020.<\/p>\n

Indian Country can listen in by dialing (877) 848-7030 and entering the access code 3218747.<\/p>\n

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia<\/a> recommends dialing in ahead of time. The phone lines have enough capacity for about 1,000 people.<\/p>\n

At stake is the $8 billion coronavirus relief fund promised to tribal governments. A federal judge will decide whether for-profit Alaska Native corporations can receive a share of the funds, as the Trump administration has determined.<\/p>\n

The case is Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation v. Mnuchin<\/em>. The plaintiffs are 11 tribes that oppose the inclusion of the Native corporations in the fund:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation (Washington)
\n\u2022 Tulalip Tribes (Washington)
\n\u2022 Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians (Maine)
\n\u2022 Akiak Native Community (Alaska)
\n\u2022 Asa\u2019carsarmiut Tribe (Alaska)
\n\u2022 Aleut Community of St. Paul Island (Alaska)
\n\u2022 Navajo Nation (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah)
\n\u2022 Quinault Nation (Washington)
\n\u2022 Pueblo of Picuris (New Mexico)
\n\u2022 Elk Valley Rancheria (California)
\n\u2022 San Carlos Apache Tribe (Arizona)<\/p>\n

A second CARES Act lawsuit has been filed by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Oglala Sioux Tribe and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. Their case,  Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe v. Mnuchin<\/em>, has been consolidated with the first one so their issues will be heard as well on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
