Two new Brookings Institution reports document that the Department of Government Efficiency eliminated $468 million in funding to Indian Country, with roughly half allocated for environmental and natural resources projects and 11% for agriculture. The cuts also reversed funding streams established by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
“The actions that the Trump administration is taking are particularly significant, but it's not totally out of trend with previous administrations. And what we wanted to show was that actually this underinvestment is kind of the default for the U.S. rather than a blip.”
