The Act recognized that tribal governments are confronting extraordinary demands parallel to those faced by state and local governments. The relief dollars, however, have been slow to reach Native Americans. While tribal governments have put forth unprecedented efforts to serve their citizens in crisis, restrictions on the use and timing of federal relief monies have hindered tribes\u2019 capacities to do all they are capable of.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as Congress returns from their summer recess to debate additional coronavirus relief packages, including potential additional direct aid to tribal governments, the Harvard Kennedy School\u2019s Ash Center and the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development will host a diverse panel of Congressional and tribal leaders to look ahead and discuss how Congress might come together on a bipartisan basis to enhance support for Indian Country\u2019s pandemic recovery efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers:<br \/>\nU.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT)<br \/>\nU.S. Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS)<br \/>\nPresident Shelley Buck, Prairie Island Indian Community<br \/>\nGovernor Stephen Roe Lewis, Gila River Indian Community (HKS MPA 2006)<br \/>\nChairman Alvin &#8220;A.J.&#8221; Not Afraid, Jr., Crow Tribe of Indians<br \/>\nChair Nathan Yaa Ndakin Yeil McCowan, Alaska Native Village Corporation Association<\/p>\n<p>Moderator: Prof. Joseph Kalt, Director, HPAIED<\/p>\n<p>Virtual Event Details<\/p>\n<p>Registration is required for this event.
