We have not been given that opportunity to sit as a Tribal government with the U.S. Government to have this conversation.
The Nation supports the provisions included in the bipartisan Title IX discussion draft and respectfully requests that members of the Committee become co-sponsors of a full bipartisan Senate VAWA bill.
However, the language added to Section 901... jeopardizes the long-term enforcement of the law and detracts from the key purpose of Title IX.
We urge Congress to withdraw or at least better limit DHS's authority to unilaterally give itself waivers to circumvent every statute on the books.
