Schatz, Murkowski Lead Committee Passage of Eight Bills, Legislative Hearing
Press Release
Issues: Indigenous Peoples Legislative Branch
"These Committee-passed bills unlock opportunities for Tribal economic development, protect Native children and families, help Native communities deliver housing for their members, and work to fulfill the United States' trust and treaty obligations. The Committee also considered a bill that would set forth a Tribal-led approach to honor the unarmed Lakota men, women, and children killed by the U.S. Army in the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre. I thank Vice Chairman Murkowski for her partnership in keeping up bipartisan momentum to move these bills out of Committee and on to the full Senate."
