Kennedy Jr. was set to take the stage, the governor of Gila River Indian Community was still standing at the podium, articulating his uneasiness around recent Trump administration moves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cLet me repeat that: We have spent a good part of this year providing education on why tribes have a political status that is not D.E.I.,\u201d Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis said to a room of 1,200 people, who clapped and cheered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When it comes to cuts sought by what has been called the Department of Government Efficiency, \u201cwe need a scalpel and not a chain saw approach to making these changes,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Gila River Wild Horse Pass Resort and Casino in Chandler, Ariz., owned and operated by two tribes, was the latest stop on Mr. Kennedy\u2019s Make American Healthy Again tour through three Southwestern states. Mr. Kennedy was set to host a \u201cfireside chat\u201d at the Tribal Self-Governance Conference, an event celebrating 50 years of tribal sovereignty under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The act, passed by Congress in 1975, marked a shift away from federal government control, so that Native communities could run their own programs based on their unique cultural needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy has long expressed a particular zeal for improving tribal health, citing his family\u2019s long history of advocacy, his childhood trips to American Indian reservations, and parts of his own environmental career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the encounter came <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/07\/us\/politics\/rfk-indian-health-service.html?searchResultPosition=4\" title=\"\">at an awkward moment<\/a>. Mr. Kennedy\u2019s agency has laid off senior advisers for tribal issues at the federal Administration for Children and Families, terminated employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s Healthy Tribes initiative and shut down five regional offices that served large swaths of the Indigenous population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy\u2019s recent decision to reassign high-ranking officials to remote Indian Health Service locations seemed to many more like a sort of political banishment than a serious attempt at supporting Native groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Mr. Kennedy was welcomed onstage for the chat \u2014 pink and yellow lights swirling through the auditorium \u2014 he took care to shake hands with every tribal leader at the table. He opened the discussion by announcing that parts of the Indian Health Service would be exempt from several recent executive orders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The tone was collegial as officials discussed strategies for improving the health of tribal communities, often with consensus. Mr. Kennedy described his worries over the high rates of obesity among Native groups. \u201cIf we\u2019re really going to change public health on the reservations and end this crisis, we need to address what\u2019s causing the crisis, which is food systems,\u201d he told the tribal officials. His words were met with applause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, there were moments of disconnect. Mr. Kennedy veered into stories about his childhood, citing powwows on Martha\u2019s Vineyard where his father took him to taste \u201csome of the best oysters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And then there was the announcement that Mr. Kennedy had planned to have Indigenous groups test out \u201crobotic nurses\u201d \u2014 A.I. voices that could serve as substitutes for human health care providers, by calling patients as a way to circumvent challenges with health care delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are going to try to roll out systems like that in Indian Country \u2014 we\u2019d like to make Indian Country pilot programs for these kinds of systems,\u201d he said, triggering boos from the crowd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWell,\u201d he added, \u201cthere are some places that don\u2019t have access to doctors. These are remote places, for example, in Alaska.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy\u2019s work on behalf of Indigenous communities dates back to the 1990s, when he represented various groups in negotiations to halt dam construction projects, oil development and industrial logging in several countries. He was also one of the first editors of North America\u2019s largest Native American newspaper, Indian Country Today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At his confirmation hearing, Mr. Kennedy pointed to a multigenerational frustration with health care for tribal groups. He testified that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/04\/16\/opinion\/robert-kennedy-pine-ridge.html\" title=\"\">his father, Robert F. Kennedy<\/a>, and uncle, President John F. Kennedy, had been \u201cdeeply, deeply critical of the function of the Indian Health Service back in 1968 to 1980, and nothing\u2019s changed. Nothing\u2019s gotten better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an exchange with Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, at the hearing, Mr. Kennedy vowed to install a Native leader at the assistant secretary level of the department and to tackle unique cultural and logistical challenges of providing high-quality health care to tribes using tools like telemedicine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Ms. Murkowski ticked aloud through an array of health issues <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/04\/health\/child-deaths-us-race.html\" title=\"\">on which Native Americans have fallen far behind<\/a> other ethnic groups, including depression, substance use, hypertension and stroke. She also rattled off infectious diseases that the groups have proven vulnerable to \u2014 hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningitis, whooping cough and measles \u2014 and asked Mr. Kennedy to use his influence to build confidence in vaccines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He did not directly address that request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday Mr. Kennedy also visited Native Health, a federally qualified health center that serves Native Americans in the Phoenix area through four primary care clinics and a food pantry to help patients with diabetes prepare Indigenous recipes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The secretary\u2019s staff said his tour would bring more outreach to tribal groups, including a Wednesday visit to a charter school in New Mexico that serves mostly Native students, and a hike with leaders of Navajo Nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy ended the day with a news conference at the Arizona State Capitol, where he defended his agency\u2019s response to the ongoing measles outbreak in West Texas by calling it \u201ca model for the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When a reporter approached the microphone and began asking about his views on the MMR vaccine, the reporter was booed away by parents and other attendees, several of them calling for the journalist to be removed from the room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/08\/health\/rfk-jr-indian-health-tribal-leaders.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the very moment that Health Secretary Robert F.
