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

Tribes ceded close to 200 million acres of land during the treaty-making and removal periods prior to 1881.

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.
