Byron Dorgan: “There's a lot about the Congress that everybody's frustrated about, even those who serve in this body.”

Obviously the future is education. We have a 50 percent high school dropout rate among Native American youth.

We have now reached the tipping point that requires, in my judgment, action by Congress.

It is well documented that Indian children are far over represented in foster homes, which is another cultural issue.

The fundamental problem found in the Dorgan report in 2010 and the findings now before the House is IHS, LEADERSHIP was failing then as it is failing now.
