Posts - Bill - HR 3956 Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) Act of 2025
house 06/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to give Indian Tribes greater control over food distribution programs on their reservations by allowing them to directly manage and tailor these services through self-determination contracts and self-governance agreements with the Department of Agriculture. This aims to improve program administration and better meet the nutritional and cultural needs of their communities.

Empowering tribal nations to run their own food programs? Now that’s what real justice tastes like.

Self-determination is fine, but no excuse for turning a blind eye to waste and mismanagement.

Giving tribes a blank check to run food programs? Hope efficiency doesn’t take a backseat to political correctness.

Local control’s great, but federal dollars demand federal oversight—don’t toss accountability out with cultural sensitivity.
