Webinar: Demystifying Federal Spending in Indian Country

Federal spending data should not be difficult for the average citizen to understand or access. Furthermore, Tribal Nations shouldn’t have to wade through convoluted spreadsheets or comb through hundreds of PDF pages to assess whether the U.S. is fulfilling its trust responsibility by sufficiently and effectively disbursing funds to Indian Country.

This recorded webinar covers four resources the Native Lands Advocacy Project developed to help you easily access and understand this data.
