Byron Dorgan: “God forbid that we should have a plan in America for where we want to be and what we want to do in the future.”

I just want to say that I am concerned about the court's decision in Carcieri and the impact it may have on those tribes that were recognized after 1934.

We have to shine all the spotlights on one spot and figure out not only what is happening, but how on earth do we fix it.

the problems facing American Indian and Alaska Native children are so significant that only concerted action by the Executive branch agencies and Congress would begin to address them.

Senator Dorgan once said it takes four agencies and 49 steps. I think with the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, we say it is seven agencies and 100 steps.
