Daniel Akaka: “I urge you to support the nomination of GEN Eric K. Shinseki to Secretary of Veterans Affairs.”

The month of November provides Native peoples opportunity to educate by sharing their history and culture with a larger audience.

Thank you for all of your work in all of that.

I want to say aloha and thank you so much for being here today for the Committee's oversight hearing on Reclaiming Our Image and Identity for the Next Seven Generations.

I am proud of the work we have accomplished on this Committee through both legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank and the Credit CARD Acts.
