Federal shutdown hitting Native Americans

Two proposals in the Senate to reopen the US government are expected to fail

As the partial US government shutdown entered its 33rd day on Wednesday, Native American tribes said they are feeling the impact as critical funds are cut, straining their resources for healthcare and food.

Meanwhile, Republican and Democratic Senate leaders agreed on Tuesday to vote on dueling proposals to reopen the government, the first sign of progress to end a stalemate that has left as many as 800,000 government workers without pay. Both proposals are expected to fail because either would need 60 votes to advance.
