Jayne Fawcett, the ambassador of the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut, testified at a Congressional hearing on a bill to authorize tribal governments to administer child welfare programs.

Fawcett, a former social worker and teacher, said tribes should be able to run the programs because other jurisdictions are slow to respond. She cited statistics noting the high rates of child neglect and poverty in Indian Country.
