I was honored to spend time with Tribal leaders from across Virginia today. Though federal recognition for most of these Tribes is recent, they have diligently stewarded their ancestral homelands and maintained their cultures and languages for millennia.

50 years ago, the landmark Boldt Decision reaffirmed Tribes' right to fish in ancestral waters - a monumental step for Tribal sovereignty. I'm proud that, under President Biden' leadership, we're building on this progress by upholding and respecting Tribal treaty rights across our work.

As climate-fueled wildfires worsen, local governments need tools that help them protect their communities.

With our new pilot program, emergency response agencies can transform ordinary vehicles into wildland fire engines, meaning faster responses and more lives saved.

It was such an honor to join students at the American Indian Higher Education Consortium's summit in DC and to speak about the importance of Tribal Colleges and Universities. With these students leading the way for their communities and our country, our future is in good hands.
