To The Bad River Tribal Community
Greetings everyone, I want to update you the best I can regarding the federal actions that have taken place recently concerning certain federal grants. The federal administration issued a memo on January 27, 2025, along with a series of executive orders requiring a temporary pause and mandatory review of grants, cooperative agreements, non-cash contributions and direct appropriations. I anticipate, and I am aware today of some of the programs across Indian country not being able to access the system for a drawdown of funds. I firmly believe this is contrary to our Treaty and Trust obligations that the United States has entered with the indigenous people, the United States needs to keep its word.
Even though I understand a federal court has stopped the federal administration’s memo until Monday, February 3, for this week I will direct to staff the task of developing statements for paused federal payments and different scenarios necessary to make resources available, especially health services, elderly services, head start, early head start and youth services, natural resources protection, and community water programs. This is not easy as many things are uncertain at this point, I will do my best to update you as I can. I am confident that our persistence and collective strength will get us through this uncertain time.
