The resolution urges the Trump-Vance administration and the Office of Management and Budget to uphold the Reagan administration's policy of government-to-government relations with tribal nations. It emphasizes the United States' treaty obligations to Indian tribes, which guarantee their rights to self-government, public safety, and economic well-being. The resolution highlights the importance of honoring these treaties as they are considered the supreme law of the land, and it calls for the federal budgeting process to reflect these obligations. It also points out the critical need for adequate funding for public safety and other essential services in Indian Country, citing significant shortfalls that jeopardize the well-being of tribal communities.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses concern over recent disruptions in federal funding for tribal nations due to a memorandum issued by the Office of Management and Budget, which has led to interruptions in treaty obligations and essential services. It calls for the Office of Management and Budget to recognize the treaty obligations inherent in tribal funding and to prioritize these in their analyses of federal programs. The resolution concludes by urging the administration to maintain respect for the government-to-government relationship established with tribal nations and to ensure that federal funding directed to them is treated as a treaty priority deserving of legal deference.
