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 these treaties as binding contracts that require the federal budgeting process to reflect and honor the commitments made to tribal nations. It also points out the critical need for adequate funding in areas such as public safety, healthcare, and education, which are essential for the well-being of tribal communities.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the Office of Management and Budget to recognize the treaty obligations associated with tribal funding when reviewing federal programs. It stresses that federal funding directed to tribal governments should be treated as a priority, deserving of legal deference due to the ongoing trust responsibility of the federal government. The resolution concludes by urging the administration to maintain respect for the government-to-government relationship established with tribal nations and to ensure that any analysis of federal financial assistance programs includes a presumption of treaty priority for tribal funding. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal officials and the South Dakota Congressional delegation.
