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.
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.
If a Tribal Nation says we have a sacred site, this is where we have an identity, the United States must honor that.
