Fresno, Calif. The court rulings brought hope. Finally, California s Native American population the nation s largest would receive its rightful share of federal health care funding.
Triumphant, leaders in the California Native community journeyed to Washington to negotiate the process of opening the funding pipeline.
That was more than four decades ago.
Today, despite a 1979 federal court-ordered settlement that would have pumped millions of dollars into California for Native American health care, the state s share remains stunningly underfunded by the Indian Health Service, Native leaders say. Their claim has been corroborated by government records and, most recently, a 2019 letter to IHS co-signed by then-Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, urging the agency to repair this longstanding inequity.
