Last week, I raised this issue with Secretary McMahon, and I’m pleased she agreed to expedite the obligation of the funds for the Alaska Native Education Program grants that Congress appropriated earlier this year.
I will continue to champion this program and work with the Department to ensure this funding is administered more expeditiously going forward.
In rural Alaska, you have to improvise. That’s why I’m always interested in innovations that help our communities adapt to the realities on the ground.
As the Arctic grows in strategic importance, the United States must continue investing in the research, infrastructure, and expertise needed to strengthen our understanding of this rapidly changing region.
