Proud to lead @IndianCommittee for the 117th Congress. On a bipartisan basis, this committee has always committed itself to the solidarity of Native people in Indian Country, in Alaska & in Hawaiʻi. And as Chair, it's a tradition I'll honor. There's much to do. Let’s get to work. pic.twitter.com/TYbzUOub0M
