John McCain: “We're really going to have to wrestle with that issue.”

I especially want to acknowledge the leadership of Senator McCain of Arizona who introduced the Native American Languages Act (NALA) in 1990.

I want to say to all of you that I am so honored to be here to speak before this Committee.

These are not just any jobs. These are well-paying jobs that keep a lot of people employed.

I have to recognize that it has been this body, this Senate Committee, very important Committee on Indian Affairs that has been helping us.
