Byron Dorgan: “The city has secured nearly $7.5 million in Federal grants, including $5.9 million from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers…”

I know that everyone sitting at this table has a passionate desire to fix these problems.

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.

Although histories, cultures, and languages may be diverse, one theme was always consistent--the challenges of accessing healthcare and life-saving services.

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.
