I look forward to working with members of this Committee and other members of Congress to identify climate adaptation strategies that incorporate traditional ecological knowledge and respect tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
Tribal nations should have a decisive say, through free prior and informed consent, on all Federal actions.
Please join us in sending this message that domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, stalking and trafficking will not be tolerated on our tribal lands.
We can't take selective science to advance political objectives that benefit multinational corporations.
