The funds will be distributed as part of the Investing in America Agenda.

The Department of the Interior will distribute nearly $7 million to the Indian Youth Services Corps for conservation projects across the country.

The department said this funding will “further advance the American Climate Corps, the Biden-Harris administration’s effort to empower a new, diverse generation of Americans to address the climate crisis and become part of a growing clean energy and climate resilience workforce.”

“Indigenous peoples have always been stewards of our nation’s lands and waters,” said Secretary Haaland. “Through the Indian Youth Service Corps, the Department of the Interior is preparing and supporting the next generation of stewards who will have lasting impacts on people, the environment, wildlife, and tribal communities across the country. When we invest in Indian Country, we invest in America.”

Pray with us as the Lord shows you…

• Secretary Haaland has shown great wisdom in her work with tribal leaders and her oversight of support for conservation projects for Native Americans.
• Interior Department officials should exercise caution when investing taxpayer money in public lands management.
