Deb Haaland actually said...

"The silent crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women has been my top priority since long before being sworn into Congress."

"As a Nation, I believe we are better than this. Please support the families of MMIW to find their loved ones and bring them home."

"Thank you very much, Chairman. Thank you so much for having this hearing. It is extremely important."

"Federal agencies should only receive funding for the development of these guidelines if they have a plan for meaningful consultation with tribal leaders and families of MMIW."
