Throughout our country's history, Native voters have been subject to guardianship, literacy tests, polling taxes, and outright rejection from the ballot box in regions across the U.S.

This is a great injustice and one that allows the longstanding disenfranchisement of Native voters to continue.

I think that as we look into sources of missing data, we might be able to pick that back up.

I think that would be a good question to ask.

Well, it just seems to me in terms of the survey, I think that, you know, if we do not have many minority veterans filling out the survey.

I just think that there is more information that needs to be included.

Native American voting rights are civil rights, and we must ensure that every eligible voter can exercise their right to vote.

I urge my colleagues to support the Native American Voting Rights Act.

I am proud of what we have accomplished in the 116th Congress to build on the Voting Rights Act with House passage of H.R. 4, but our work is not finished.

If we allow these noxious beliefs to continue, as our diversity continues across the country, this is what we are dealing with.

Hateful ideologies of any kind have no place in our military.

As a Nation, we have still not fulfilled commitments to Tribes to work with them on a government-to-government basis to protect Native voting rights.

Representative Lujan testified about ongoing barriers whenever Native people received that right to vote when they became citizens, but they were denied that right.

This just is not right. It does not make sense.

Our legislation, which has bipartisan support, will ensure veterans, reservists, and their family members, are paid fairly for their work when using education benefits and the VA Work Study Program.

This is not a minimum wage issue. This is veteran-equality issue and there is a precedent.

I urge you to fully fund the LCWF at the authorized $900 million level, although last week the President did tweet his support for making LWCF full funding mandatory, so perhaps it won't be necessary, but we will see.

I am especially grateful that you worked to significantly increase funding for implementation of the Violence Against Women's Act in Indian Country because more than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaska native women have experienced violence…
