the events of June 1 will no doubt go down as one of the darkest days of this presidency.

New Mexicans, Americans, and people around the world are facing a crisis: the coronavirus pandemic is giving us an opportunity to question what we value most. How do we value the workers who grow and harvest our food, deliver it to our…

This global crisis causes us to ask: How do we value the workers who grow and harvest our food? How do we value the healthcare workers who risk their own lives for our loved ones? How do we value the people who educate and care for our…

the irreversible destruction that the Resolution Copper Mine would have on the Oak Flat area--an area sacred to many tribes in the region including my own, the San Carlos Apache Tribe

this despicable action is the antithesis of democracy and has threatened to forever destroy our way of worship and life

the mine will also permanently damage the region's already severely depleted water supply

It seems to me that if you take 100 percent of something and you only get 10 percent out of it and the other 90 percent is waste, it doesn't seem like it is worth it.

This DEIS is not what I expect to see in America.

I have to say that when they do things like that, Native people, they are not heard either.

Your voice has never been heard enough.

As the former mayor of the town of Superior and a lifelong resident, do you feel that the DEIS adequately informs the local public about these risks that you have been talking about associated with this project?

We all have an obligation to stand up for under-represented people and definitely for Native American sacred sites.

This behavior--this is the behavior that our country has to contend with. He is our president. He is the leader of our country.

As the granddaughter of the founder of the first Native-American baseball team in Arizona, I rise to speak in favor of H.R. 6020 and Minor League Baseball. I thank Chairwoman Maloney and Mrs. Miller, and the Committee on Oversight and…

as one of the first Native American women ever elected to Congress in our country's history, I completely understand when there is no role models to see in those areas, that it is hard for young women to believe that they can achieve those…

I appreciate that commitment.

This administration is trying to make it more difficult for these children to find homes and for LGBTQ couples to adopt by supporting discrimination.

My daughter is queer. Every official involved in making these choices should have to look her in the eye and explain why her life should have been difficult if she were in foster care and why she should be discriminated against if she…

We strongly support an approach to making public lands and waters a part of climate solutions that recognizes the important role of conservation in mitigating the effects of climate change.

As Americans, we all should be horrified that the Federal Government has so little respect for our religious and cultural values.

But a sacred site that has been blasted, it can never be made whole again.

Today, we stand together with the Tohono O'odham Nation and many other tribal nations who aren't here today.

As one of the first Native women in Congress, I find it my duty to speak up for Indian Country and the Administration's lack of respect for the Federal trust responsibility we have to Native nations.

The Federal Government has unquestionably assumed the legal and moral responsibility to protect our sacred sites.

This bears repeating. The President threatens to destroy Iran's cultural sites and, yes, that would be a tremendous loss to our world. It is considered an international war crime when he states this. But how is what is happening here on…
