"Well, I appreciate all of you taking the time to be here, to share your thoughts."

"We just think there's got to be a lot more interaction between the BIA and the tribes."

"I'd like to ask a couple of questions, and maybe we can start with Council leadership of the Tribes."

"I am so grateful that President Joy McFarland allowed us to come here today for this hearing."
