More from Debra Haaland
Reliable water is crucial to tribal communities, and this permanent funding for settlements will help us work with tribes and Congress to meet our trust responsibilities to ensure that tribal communities receive the water resources they have long been promised.
I ask today that you uphold Secretary Haaland's important decision to protect a small part of our homelands.
Tribes deserve a seat at the decision-making table before policies are made that impact their communities.
We will absolutely keep you updated, and happy to work with you moving forward to make sure that we have the folks there who need to get the work done.
