BISMARCK, N.D. — Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says $500 million in federal stimulus money will go to American Indian tribes across the U.S. for schools, housing, infrastructure improvements and job programs on reservations.
Salazar made the announcement Saturday at the United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, N.D. The Interior Department oversees the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Salazar said reservations face serious challenges and President Barack Obama wants to help American Indians “have a new beginning.”
