Fawn Sharp: “The issue of consultation for Tribal Nations, it is one that ensures that we have political equality with another…”

We urge the committee to appropriate funds to help Tribes prepare to respond to climate change.

We will be seeking to increase prevention efforts, increase treatment and then also provide enhanced enforcement.

We have an effective death sentence right now facing this pandemic.

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.
