Robert Martin expresses concerns about new regulations affecting tribal recognition and sovereignty.

Eliminating the regular use of antibiotics by food animal producers should be one of our top priorities for slowing the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
We are forced to spend considerable time and resources at great expense to defend against these repeated assaults on our tribal sovereignty.
Establishing a standard that is too restrictive potentially denies legitimate groups the unique rights and status provided to a sovereign government.
If an animal production system requires regular antibiotic inputs to keep the animals from becoming sick, then the system is broken.
