Indigenous Resources

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, H.R. 748, was signed into law. The bill is the third COVID-19 legislative package and includes $2 billion in relief to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The original introduced version of H.R. 748 (S. 3548) had very few provisions for tribal nations. However, in response to Indian Country’s tireless, unified advocacy, the final legislation included an unprecedented level of investment in and resources for tribal response and recovery efforts.
