Washington, D.C. – This week, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee brought together Tribal members from across the nation to testify on issues and policy priorities for Fiscal Year 2026. During the multi-day hearings, witnesses and lawmakers conveyed a focus on healthcare, law enforcement, and education. Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) and Subcommittee Chairman Mike Simpson (R-ID) reiterated their commitment to working towards upholding America’s trust and treaty obligations and ensuring strong investments to address critical needs.
The committee will come to order.
Good morning and welcome to the second day of our public witness hearings for American Indian and Alaska Native programs. I want to welcome all the distinguished Tribal elders and leaders here today and to thank our witnesses for appearing before the Committee to share their concerns on these important topics. In terms of hearing logistics, I will call each panel of witnesses to the table one panel at a time.
