I was frustrated and dismayed to be told at the meeting that Chemawa and BIE staff are prohibited from talking with us.

I have been spearheading the Oregon delegation's efforts to shed light on the situation at the school for more than a year and a half.

Our main priority is for Chemawa to be a safe place for Native students to thrive.

This committee can learn a great deal from his experience and all the good work that is being done at the local level.
