Chuck Hoskin: “These actions have made the Cherokee Nation a better nation for having recognized full and equal citizenship of Freedmen…”

I think that interruption of many, many decades really arrested the development of the Cherokee Nation.

Those programs have proven successful so far, and as we go into our next fiscal year, we are determined to commit even more resources to those types of opportunities for homeownership.

The direct funding of NAHASDA and the ability to craft Indian Housing Plans has been indispensable for the Cherokee Nation.

I urge the committee to swiftly move forward with a bipartisan reauthorization bill that can pass the Senate and be signed into law.
