I concur with the Subcommittee Chairman that the Bureau should give consideration to the additional requirements identified by the Crow Creek Sioux tribe, as well as other tribes. The funds provided are to address the most critical health and safety and emergency response needs associated with the disasters. If the additional emergency appropriations are not sufficient to address all requests from all tribes, the Bureau of Indian Affairs will have to prioritize the requests, but they are encouraged to consider the particular needs in South Dakota.
