Native People Rush to Feed the People

"The #BlackfeetNation brought in a load of produce from the #YakamaNation, and #FortPeck announced buffalo distribution. #GilaRiver is giving tribal members $1,000 in hardship funds, as the government shut-down continues.
"Blackfeet Tribal Council Member Mike Comes At Night brought in a load of produce from the Yakama Nation in Washington State for the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. 'We made it home safely from the Yakama Nation with a generous load of produce for the Blackfeet People. I am honored, as a Councilman, to serve our people. I’ve traveled hundreds of miles to help
bring food home, and at the end of the day, I know I am doing my job. I also want to thank all the farmers who helped us with this food — may the Creator bless them and their families," Comes at
Night said."#FortPeck's #Assiniboine and #Sioux Tribes are distributing buffalo meat, and gathering groceries, after declaring a state of emergency in Montana.
"In California, the #Yurok Tribal Council approved $300 food assistance cards for Yurok because of the disruptions in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program #SNAP, and #CalFresh benefits, due to the federal government shutdown.
'Our goal is to help our most vulnerable citizens get through this challenging time,' said Yurok Chairman Joseph L. James, who said the tribe is working to mitigate the hardships on families from
the federal shutdown."In #Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the #CherokeeNation announced a $6.5 million response package. This includes cash payments of up to $185 per individual Cherokee Nation citizens on SNAP. It also includes over $1.25 million to support food banks and other non-profit food programs.
"The Cherokee Nation's expanded emergency declaration includes tribal members who are currently on SNAP living anywhere in the United States. The Cherokee Nation has over 470,000 citizens living in all fifty states. Cherokee Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr. said the Cherokee's network of 27 “at-large” organizations located in urban areas could access grants of $5,000 to address local food shortages.
"The #GilaRiverIndianCommunity, south of #Phoenix in #Arizona, is distributing $1,000 hardship payments to all adult tribal members, regardless of whether or not they are SNAP recipients.
"Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis said, 'We want to make sure that, as a sovereign nation, we take care of our members during this unprecedented shutdown.'
" 'I hope that this payment brings some peace of mind during this time of uncertainty at the federal
level.' "Source:

'People are scared': #FortPeck #TribalChair urges members to carry IDs to avoid #deportation
by Nora Mabie Jan 24, 2025
"#FortPeckAssiniboine and #Sioux Tribal Chairman #JustinGrayHawk on Friday issued a statement urging tribal members to carry their tribal IDs amid growing concern over President Donald #Trump’s recent executive orders.
"Gray Hawk wrote that community members feared the possibility of '(deporting) #NativeAmericans along with Mexicans in the hope that nobody can tell the difference.'
"When asked if the tribal enrollment office had received an uptick in calls after Trump’s inauguration, Enrollment Officer Twyla Red Eagle said, 'Yes. Yes. Yes.'
'Just this afternoon, we had 15 people in here,' she said. 'And people are calling from out-of-state where they had deportations already. … People are scared.'"Fort Belknap Indian Community Vice President Judy King on Friday issued a similar statement, advising members to 'keep a copy of your tribal identification card on you at all times.'
"#NavajoNation Council delegates said they'd been contacted by tribal members in #Arizona who said they were detained by #ICE, according to the Arizona Republic.
"On his first day in office, Trump issued a slew of executive orders related to #immigration. He declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border and said he plans to send U.S. troops to support agents, according to The Associated Press.
"Trump issued an executive order denying #USCitizenship to the children born in the states of parents living in the U.S. illegally. A U.S. District Judge temporarily blocked the order and as of Jan. 21, 22 states had sued to block the move, according to The Associated Press.
To request a #TribalID, visit the Fort Peck Tribes’ enrollment department or call 406-768-2311. The Fort Belknap Indian Community enrollment office can be reached at 406-353-8531 or 406-353-8532."Archived version:
