Joe Garcia: “I have long sought to provide equity and investment for our Nation's Native communities and rural infrastructure needs.”

I look forward to working with the members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to ensure that Federal transportation policies...honor the Nation's treaty and trust responsibilities to Tribes.

I ask this committee to empower Tribal Government in the next reauthorization measure by giving Tribes the resources they need.

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?

Native Americans have been handled, yeah, very badly in this country, treated very badly since 1607.
