Ryan Zinke: “I remain committed to working with tribes on a government-to-government basis, particularly when it pertains to matters…”

I remind the subcommittee that its trust and treaty obligations exist irrespective of any self-imposed budgeting caps.

I urge the subcommittee to support prompt passage of the bipartisan TERRA Act. There is no time to waste.

I urge this subcommittee to support significantly increased funding for Indian Country, especially chronically underfunded tribal environmental resiliency programs.

I thank you, Chairman Simpson and Representative Kilmer, for your vision and leadership on the TERRA Act.
