"It's a very important bill to me. It's a very important bill to so many Alaskans."

"We appreciate the opportunity to weigh in on this legislation which will shape the future of Southeast Alaska in profound ways."

"I think it's important that we have worked diligently throughout this process to ensure that it is not precedent setting."

"It will not be establishing a precedent for reopening into the future for other Native Corporations."
