10. SOUNDBITE (English) Carly Hotvedt, Indigenous Food and Agriculture initiative spokesperson:
“The other issue that we’re seeing related to some of these potential federal office closures include Bureau of Indian Affairs agency offices, particularly ones that are located in western states that serve tribes with larger land bases. They administer the agriculture and grazing leases on those tribal lands. And if there is a delay in renewing those leases or administering them appropriately, there’s a potential that could significantly impact the agricultural producers on those reservations.”

“One thing we do hope is that with this administration, who has identified efficiencies and effectiveness as a key platform of theirs, also reducing federal bureaucracy, that self-determination, self-governance has proven to to achieve that. So for the last 50 years, we can show that tribes can use federal dollars more effectively, more efficiently than the federal government can."
