"Statement of Senator Cantwell"
"The Supreme Court's 2009 decision in Carcieri v. Salazar has created two unequal classes of federally recognized tribes."
"A lot of acres, millions of acres were taken from tribes."
"Our country's financial troubles are not really stemming from our obligations to Indian Country, and frankly, we're not doing a good job in fulfilling those obligations."
