New website for Senate Indian Affairs Committee


The Senate Indian Affairs Committee has launched a new website with an updated look.

The redesign features a calendar with links to all the recent and upcoming hearings. A special "Investigations" section has all the information about the Jack Abramoff hearings.

Some of the sections are not yet complete. Clicking on "Issues" brings up a mostly empty page, for example.

The update is probably the first the committee has done in a few years. The site had the same look since about 2000.
