I want to associate myself with the comments Ms. Stansbury made regarding climate change.

I think tribes and Indigenous folk are ahead of us, in terms of how they see sovereignty.

There is little evidence that there is any progress being made on those negotiations.

We need to assess whether the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations within the Department is functioning correctly for the next century.

I completely support the President's budget request.

These compacts are up for renegotiation right now.

I believe that the DOI has been chronically underfunded for a long, long time.

I supported Secretary Haaland's nomination because we need someone with her experience, her compassion, her intelligence, and her fair-mindedness.

The attributes that qualify her as Secretary of the Interior--compassion, experience, intelligence, and fair-mindedness--is precisely what our country needs at this moment in time.

The historic significance of this moment should not be lost.

Compassion, not the pursuit of a quick buck, is what defines this country at its best.
