to me culture is like a tree. If you cut the tree from the roots, which is a culture, you know, there is a huge loss of something.
All of us here in this room and the Committee staff, all will have to continue to educate our colleagues here in the Congress to know as much as they can about our indigenous people.
You have been a great partner in our work to improve the District and have been, what else can I say, a zealous advocate for its residents for 22 years, and I am still counting.
That is why I have worked hard during my time in Congress to educate, protect, and empower consumers.
