Native America Calling - Tuesday, November 4, 2025 – A new report finds tribes are most vulnerable during government shutdown
As the federal government shutdown drags on, tribes are feeling the brunt more than the general population. That’s among the conclusions in a new report from the Brookings Institution that examines how the government distributes the funds it is obligated to. The report finds that a large portion of the money for tribal necessities like health care, education, and economic well-being required under the Trust and Treaty Responsibility is dependent on annual action by Congress rather than being baked into the automatic allocations that other federal funding recipients enjoy. The report calls on a more reliable funding system for tribes.
The shutdown has prompted several tribes, including the Spirit Lake Nation, Standing Rock Tribe, and Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, to declare states of emergency, mainly because of the lack of food and winter heating assistance. We’ll hear more about how the shutdown is grinding away at tribes’ ability to help their citizens.
GUESTS
Chairman Joseph James (Yurok Tribe)
Nikki Stoops (Native Village of Kotzebue), vice president of engagement for the Alaska Federation of Natives
Liz Malerba (Mohegan Tribe), director of policy and legislative affairs for the United South and Eastern Tribes Sovereignty Protection Fund
Robert Maxim (Mashpee Wampanoag), fellow at the Brookings Institution

Cato Podcast - The $650,000 Question: How Steel Protectionism Fails
For 60 years, the U.S. government has protected the steel industry through tariffs, quotas, and Buy American mandates. Yet steel costs remain among the highest globally, and protectionism has extracted a staggering price: $650,000 in economic damage for every steel job saved, and 75,000 manufacturing jobs lost in 2019 alone. Cato's Clark Packard and Alfredo Carrillo Obregon investigate why protectionism failed and what market-based solutions would actually work.

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Kevin Dede, Managing Director at H.C. Wainwright, joins us to give a pulse check on the bitcoin miners pivoting to AI.
