Byron Dorgan: “It will be advisable at some moment for the Corps of Engineers to decide to hold a hearing here in North Dakota.”

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

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.

This is not about politics; everyone on this dais knows that.

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