The Biden Administration touts support for tribal consultation; policies aimed at helping Native businesses; federal money for energy projects, infrastructure, and connectivity; and respect for Native land among the accomplishments that favor Indian Country since he took office. Some other federal land and energy policies have drawn both praise and criticism. With President’s Day coming up, we discuss how President Joe Biden’s term so far resonates with tribal interests with Torivio Fodder (Taos Pueblo), manager of the Indigenous Governance Program at the University of Arizona and professor of practice at James E. Rogers College of Law, and Jordan Harmon (Muscogee Creek Nation citizen), policy analyst and legislative advocate for the Indigenous Environmental Network. Plus, we celebrate World Radio Day with Joseph Orozco (Hoopa), website content coordinator at KIDE.
