Ryan Zinke actually said...

"From his days in the House of Representatives to the day he was nominated Secretary, Mr. Zinke has shown that tribal sovereignty is at the top of his list of priorities."

"I remain committed to working with tribes on a government-to-government basis, particularly when it pertains to matters under Interior's jurisdiction."

"My steadfast commitment is to support sovereignty so we get out of the way if that is the direction the tribe wants to go."

"I am an advocate for tribal sovereignty and self-determination."
