In the Senate, I introduced a resolution that strongly condemns the theft, illegal possession or sale and export of tribal cultural items.

I take great pride in working with New Mexico's tribal communities.

In New Mexico, we have a rich cultural history rooted in Native American tradition. It is the bedrock of who we are as New Mexicans.

These items are not pieces of art--they are spiritual objects--deeply important for tribal identity.
