Tribal communities risk losing local libraries and the history they hold amid DOGE cuts
Federally recognized tribes say the Trump administration cut the grant money they use to sustain the local libraries that serve as anchors in their most rural communities.
More than a hundred libraries on federally recognized tribal lands across the country were notified that their congressionally appropriated grant had been terminated midcycle.
Those communities are at risk of losing their local libraries and the history they hold.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
Thatβs why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts β to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesnβt know what heβs doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didnβt do it.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they donβt have to do that bc βnational security,β YOU can be disappeared.
