Show Notes
President Trumps budget proposal for fiscal year 2027 severely impacts tribal colleges, cutting funds and eliminating support for the Institute of American Indian Arts. The proposal also reduces funding for tribal colleges and universities, as well as two Bureau of Indian Education schools. Leaders warn these cuts could lead to closures within a year, especially after students sued over funding and staffing shortages. Last years cuts were partially offset by grants shifted to minority-serving schools, but tribal leaders are not expecting the same this time. Congress is now urged to protect these programs, with senators vowing to fight against what they see as an attack on Native communities and their future.
