EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

FY 2017 represents a landmark opportunity for this Administration to turn the corner in Indian health Treaty and Trust obligations, and to finally, bring to justice the promises made to Tribes. It is time to write a new future for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). This Administration and Congress have it in their power to eliminate the gross health disparities experienced in Tribal communities, and offer our new generations hope for a better life in our own homeland.
