Dear Tribal Leader,

Please join me for a briefing call to discuss the Biden-Harris Administration’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget request for the Department of Interior’s Indian Affairs, which includes the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration.

The briefing call will focus on the Administration’s budget plan to bolster the level of resources needed for Indian Affairs’ mission of service to Tribes and support its role in strengthening the Federal Government’s nation-to-nation relationship with Tribes as well as its treaty and trust responsibilities. The President’s Budget supports an all-of-government approach to addressing Federal responsibilities and Tribal needs in Indian Country and is committed to Tribal sovereignty, self-sufficiency, and self-determination.
