Land is lifeblood to Native Americans and these bills provide space for housing, economic and community development, traditional uses and cultural protection.
I believe the Pyramid Lake Tribe has been extremely willing to compromise in order to make this bill a reality.
They have been treated so poorly.
I look forward to continuing to work with our First Nevadans on protecting their homelands.
we wish to thank you for your work on this bill.
I take the many obligations that the United States has to tribal nations seriously.
Lands legislation is important to me and the Indian tribes in Nevada.
We again thank Senators Reid and Heller for introducing the bill and including the Forest Service land transfer in the legislation.
But the White House has yet to say at this point, no, Senator Reid, you are wrong about that.
I think it's horrible that they're even thinking about the short-term extension.
I think it's ridiculous.
