Joe Garcia: “We are a Nation of laws because law provides order and structure and predictability and peace and equality and justice.”

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 am encouraged by Committee Chairman DeFazio's announcement last week of a transformational five-year, $760 billion investment in infrastructure.

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?

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