Senator Murkowski, we applaud the work you have done to support AYK salmon populations through Congressionally directed spending in support of research, monitoring, and comanagement.

You have taken a huge step forward by moving the Office of Subsistence Management under the Secretary of Interior.

I hope Senator, that we have an opportunity to do something about this, either by legislation or amending that treaty to have them all included.

We must work together, because ultimately the loss of salmon threatens your ways of life.

One of the key takeaways from that was the need for Native people to have a seat at the table, equal voice in management of subsistence resource.

We can never thank enough those who have stood to defend us and our Country's freedoms.

it seems to me that the Yukon is in a humanitarian crisis.

Congress needs to amend ANILCA to protect, once and for all, Alaska Native and Rural subsistence hunting and fishing rights.

We especially thank you for your leadership to include language in the Fiscal Year 24 Appropriations Bill to reposition the Office of Subsistence Management to the Interior Secretary's Office.

Moving the Office of Subsistence Management under the Interior Secretary was, as I said, a step in the right direction.

You have shown that we do matter.

Discontinue using four-inch nets. They are killing my salmon out there.

It is time for a change.

We have sacrificed a lot on the Yukon, from salmon gear to fishing times, of the whole people on Yukon River.

the need for the Federal Government to pay attention, to pay attention, to listen, to understand, and to act.

Thank you, Mr. Winkelman.

I also want to say quyana to the Association of Village Council Presidents for encouraging and organizing this event...
