Mark Begich: “Is it financial resources? Is it expertise? Is it expertise within the Tribes?”

The 477 tribes across this country agree with Senator Lisa Murkowski and Senator Mark Begich in pushing Congress to amend the original law.

I want to make sure my colleagues hear exactly what you are saying, so a couple years from now, we do not hear complaints that, geez, why did you not do it?

We specifically extend our appreciation to Senator Murkowski and Senator Begich for their support and efforts to repeal the Alaska exception of the Violence Against Women Act.

All we want to do is fix it for Alaska Native people. That is all.
