Rally against BIA cuts highlights Indian funds crisis
About 400 American Indians gathered in Washington Tuesday to protest proposed cuts to the Bureau of Indian Affairs budget. Albert Hale of the Navajo Nation led chants outside the Capitol, calling the plan an attempt to balance the budget on Indian backs. Ada Deer noted layoff notices, while the House and Senate debate a 3 percent reduction. Many attendees emphasized the federal government treaty relationship and critics argued tribes remain poor despite gaming revenue.
