Daniel Inouye: “But not the new brigades?”

We have the diplomatic approach, which is the carrot and carrot approach, where everybody wins.

I strongly urge that the Committee take action to assure that laws relating to Native American languages not only include Native Hawaiians in their wording, but also include Native Hawaiians as actual beneficiaries.

It is and has always been Federal law and policy that Indian tribes recognized by the Federal Government stand on an equal footing to each other and to the Federal Government.

My approach is to advocate the diplomatic approach, which is symbolized by this wampum belt.
