Native America Calling - Monday, April 14, 2025 — This week on the federal chopping block: libraries, museums, low-income heating, and food sovereignty
At least one tribal library in New Mexico will have to close after the Trump Administration abruptly canceled federal grants administered through the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Many more libraries and museums in the state and around the country are forced to cut hours, eliminate staff, cancel traditional programs, and curb purchases for new books and other materials. They are among the latest in the on-going efforts by the Trump Administration to drastically change federal services. Those cuts also include supplements to low-income Navajo Nation citizens and hundreds more Native Americans nationwide who rely on the funds to help them heat their homes in the winter. We’ll get the latest rundown of staff and funding reductions by the federal government. Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - The Marketbox Project: Neighbors Who Eat And Dream Together
