Regardless of what you say, this Administration is bulldozing through and desecrating sacred sites with little to no consultation with the tribes.

That is the binding contract the United States entered into with Tribes, and from those treaties and other laws has arisen the United States' sacred trust responsibility to the Indian Nations and our peoples.

I come from a rich culture in the Pueblo country in Ohkay Owingeh, and so I think it is important that I didn't learn all of the things that I knew about social life and culture and language and all of that in an education setting.

If the BIE doesn't even respond to the Navajo, how in the world do I expect them to... talk to the tribal leaders in the small communities?
