Tribes and Students Sue Trump Administration Over Firings at Native Schools

Tribes and Students Sue Trump Administration Over Firings at Native Schools
SHARE

A lawsuit has been filed by a group of Native American tribes and students against the Trump administration in an effort to reverse the recent firing of federal workers at Native schools. The firing of staff members at Haskell Indian Nations University and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute has had a detrimental impact on the quality of education for Native students.

The layoffs, part of a larger series of job cuts led by the Department of Government Efficiency, resulted in the dismissal of nearly one quarter of the staff members at the only two federally run colleges for Native people in the United States. Instructors, a basketball coach, and security and maintenance workers were among those who were let go in February. While some staff members have been rehired, the reductions have significantly affected the educational experience for the 45,000 children enrolled in bureau-funded schools in 23 states.

As a consequence of the layoffs, numerous courses at the two colleges have lost instructors, leading to a decline in the quality of education. Additionally, the loss of support staff and maintenance workers has resulted in unsanitary conditions in school dormitories, undrinkable water, inadequate food in dining halls, and power outages that hinder students’ ability to study.

The lawsuit, filed by the Native American Rights Fund, aims to hold accountable the heads of the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Office of Indian Education Programs for their actions. Tribal nations such as the Pueblo of Isleta, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, along with five students from the affected colleges, are among the plaintiffs in the case.

The federal government is obligated by the federal Indian trust responsibility to uphold tribal sovereignty, collaborate with tribes on matters that impact them, and respect their right to make decisions in their best interest. By failing to consult with tribes prior to the firings, the government breached this trust requirement.

The history of Native schools in the United States has been fraught with challenges, including the forced assimilation of Native children into non-Native culture at boarding schools. The funding for tribal schools has decreased since 2010, along with the enrollment of Native American and Alaska Native students. Despite these challenges, the Native American communities are committed to ensuring the success of their educational institutions and will continue to fight for their rights.
