So, three years. I am looking then to Chair Bryan, and to Chairperson Mejia.

On average, how long does this review take BIA to review an application? What are you looking at?

As it turns out, the 9th of June, just on Sunday, was Congressman Young's birthday, and it is also the day that has been designed in Alaska as Don Young Day.

I appreciate today's hearing. You have covered much of the details of the bills that will be before us.

Another challenge, though, is the need for mobile processing trailers when you have communities that are not connected by road.

Is it the department's interpretation of S. 2908 that the bill will cover the cost of transporting the bulls, the cows and the calves to the villages that are working to establish these bison herds?

What we are trying to do is, again, reestablish these herds for economic development as a traditional food source and provide food security for Native communities.

Thank you to those who have testified today.

Great. Your testimony states that the bill would allow the tribes and tribal organizations to enter into 638 self-governance contracts to assume BIA bison herd management functions.

Good. And is it also your understanding that the bill would cover the cost of transporting the bison within Alaska from village to village to promote sustainable grazing practices and herd health?

We cannot continue to allow cartels to take advantage of the holes in our justice system and we cannot win this War on Drugs by ourselves.

13 percent is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Congress has an absolute legal and moral duty to protect Us--and not at 13 percent.

I absolutely agree.

I think the choice to have an abortion should ultimately be in the hands of the woman, of the individual, not the government.

I continue to hear from so many in my state, women in Alaska who are concerned about access to abortion.
