We all know that illegally deforested products are impermissible from an import standpoint in the United States.

We need to explore those opportunities, even as we try to help people get better broadband connection.

We need to act on issues of climate change together.

I had a constructive conversation with several Pacific Island nation ambassadors about a month ago.

I would love to see if there is more we can do in that area.

If confirmed, Mr. Thompson would serve during an important time in U.S.-Nepalese relations.

The community stands in full support of the passage of Senate Bill 2907 Truth and Healing Commission

We owe it to the survivors and their families to uncover the truth and provide justice.

I think online learning was a total disaster.

I think it is 100 percent of the schools having an increase in mental health challenges.

I think it is a further reflection of the lack of respect that this profession has, and I would stand against that.

We very much appreciate the work that you, Senator Schatz, and the Senate Indian Affairs Committee have put into the bill to establish Native American Language Resource Centers.

Mahalo again to you, Senator Schatz, for introducing that bill with strong support from Senator Murkowski.

The work of Senator Schatz to inquire with CMS was deeply appreciated

Your efforts to secure pandemic relief and support for Native Hawaiian health in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021... have bolstered access to services for all Native Hawaiians across the State.

OHA stands ready to assist the Committee and Congress in accomplishing this most important work, both now and in the future.

The trust responsibility should be the guiding light of this Committee's work.

Nothing about me without me. That rings especially true here.

Thank you again for your work and commitment to improving Native Hawaiian health and to honoring the Federal trust responsibility owed to Native Hawaiians.

Unfortunately, despite these efforts, our programs and keiki (children) are still at risk.

Aligned to your lead, and Hawai`i's collective Congressional Delegation's swift actions to defuel and close the RHBFT, funding environmental assessments and cleanups of sacred lands polluted and contaminated by the U.S. military, evidences…

We are very much appreciative the work, Senator Schatz, that you have done, in the Senate Indian Affairs Committee
