This bill's strong bipartisan support gives me hope that we can solve this problem for tribal communities that we represent in the very near future.

Helping fulfill the Federal trust responsibility is absolutely critical to me.

The trust responsibility does not end with IHS and it does not end with BIA.

Despite protections in current law, the illicit trade in Native American tangible cultural heritage continues to pose a grave threat...
