The Trump administration has begun to release some of the CCP virus relief funding promised to Native American tribes and approved by Congress last month.
The initial payout will involve 60 percent of the $8 billion allocated to tribes. The remaining money will be distributed based on the total number of people employed by the Indian tribe and any entity owned by tribes, as well as how much “further data to be collected related to the amount of higher expenses faced by the tribe in the fight against COVID-19,” according to the government.
