Quick Glance: Biden to Sign Order for Simplifying Federal Funding for Native Americans
- President Joe Biden will sign an order during a tribal nations summit to make it easier for Native Americans to access federal funding and have more autonomy in its use.

- New rules simplify requirements for museums and federal agencies to identify items for repatriation.
