I have heard from some tribes in New Mexico about stewardship contracts. These contracts can be difficult and sometimes inflexible.

The bill before us today addresses an issue of great importance to Indian Country, restoration of tribal homelands.

With this legislation, Congress has the opportunity to right a historic wrong by returning stewardship of these lands to the people most capable, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe.

Arm is working with the U.S. Government more proactively than was done when addressing the original Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities.

Do you believe that NIST can serve as a pre-disclosure clearinghouse that could help test possible patches and assess the damages that could occur from a vulnerability such as Spectre and Meltdown?

There is no doubt about that. How serious a threat are these vulnerabilities for our State and local election systems?

I think you are right. I am perfectly happy to work with you and have the Commerce Committee do all of the work on cybersecurity.

Climate change can have dramatic impacts on everything from water, forests to wildlife, all of which do not follow land management boundaries.

I think it would further the relationship.

I rise today to talk about the immigration crisis that this President has generated. The Nation has seen images of children trapped behind wire fencing and children sleeping on concrete floors. We have seen the tents hurriedly set up to…

today, Justice Kennedy has announced he is retiring. I had some very strong disagreements with his rulings, especially on campaign finance reform, but I thank him for his service. He was a thoughtful Justice. I am very concerned with the…

I guess to you, and Mr. Hicks, and Christy McCormick, what are your agencies doing to further post-election audits in every state?

Are states working well with the Election Assistance Commission and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure ample communication and sharing of resources to ensure elections are secure?

Subsistence not only means nourishing communities with traditional foods but also feeding generations with traditional knowledge that sustains, grows and keeps Native communities together.

An important tool for tribes to have direct involvement in their ecological management is through the BIA's integrated resource management planning process.

I think we are being very shortsighted in saying because we call it something, we are not going to use that money at all.

I have repeatedly said decisions made by tribes for tribes produce the best results.

subsistence practices are vital to Native communities across the Country.

I hope you take back that message to Interior because I think these tribal communities are right at ground zero, in the bulls-eye, when it comes to the impacts of climate change.

Subsistence is a way of life for tribal communities that depends on passing traditional ecological knowledge down between generations.

Senator Udall, thank you for your work on behalf of tribal communities and also for describing New Mexico as beautiful as most think of it as a desert.

It is no secret the Trump Administration does not believe in climate change but Indian Country does not have the luxury of putting its head in the sand.
