Indian Country deserves better care. Let's get it to them.

If Congress continues to underfund the Service, we won't make the progress we need to.

It is clear that the Federal Government has not delivered on its trust and treaty promises to Indian Country.

I would inquire how much time remains in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1 minute remaining.

This is a leader with the patriotism of George Washington, the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, the commitment to liberty of Abraham Lincoln, and the energetic leadership style of Teddy Roosevelt.

The American Battlefield Program Enhancement Act will ensure that the grant program is nimble and successful, maximizing its potential as a critical means of battlefield preservation.

I applaud Congresswoman Stefanik for her leadership supporting important historic preservation programs, including sponsoring HR3448.

The Mount Rushmore Protection Act would prevent Federal funds from being used to alter or remove a name, face, or any other feature from the Memorial.

We appreciate the opportunity to express our strong support for H.R. 3579, the Tribal Trust Land Homeownership Act of 2023.

This is about fulfilling our Federal Government's trust in treaty obligations. It is about championing the rights of Indigenous communities.

Restoring this land to the Puyallup Tribe isn't merely a matter of righting historical wrongs, it is about building a better future for our entire region.
