"Thank you again for your ongoing leadership, not only over the years but over the decades as you are working to protect vulnerable Native women throughout the State of Alaska."

"Some members of Congress and the news media pushed a narrative that tribal governments somehow would not be fair..."

"I am absolutely confident, absolutely confident, that Alaska tribes are up to this task."

"But I want to emphasize that the impacts on the ground in Native communities, particularly in places like very rural Alaska, they are very real, they are very tragic."
