"Throughout our Nation's history, tribes have suffered abuse and ongoing indignity at the hands of the Federal Government."

"the IRA's goal was to, and I quote, "rehabilitate the Indians' economic life, and to give him a chance to develop the initiative destroyed by a century of oppression and paternalism.""

"The return of land to the tribes was and continues to be critical to restoring the tribal way of life."

"We must ensure that tribes are treated with the fairness and dignity they rightfully deserve."
