(8,770 posts)My recent experience (this past week) may be different because the staff are Tribe (not GS IHS employees) and how each Tribe handles its clinics may be at their option as long as there are funds (unspent as yet) from IHS or other Tribe sources). In the past several days I spoke to three different men who work intermittently in the Tribe Natural Resource Department that started work this past week. The largest local employer by far is the Tribe and as yet the employment and services have continued.
Note that I differentiated between Fed employees and also noted that Fed funds would be gone at some point because of the Fed shut down.
Just made a mention that as of yet in my particular instance the Tribe is keeping things going. I am in no way supporting the shut down or Trump or Trump and NA. I have zero idea of what is happening higher in the Tribe bureaucracy but so far they have managed well because Tribe employees are working and being paid.
