The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is taking another look at infrastructure in Native communities.
The committee will host a roundtable titled “Concrete Solutions: Building a Successful Foundation for Native Communities’ Infrastructure Development” on Wednesday afternoon. It comes after a prior oversight hearing that focused on water needs in Indian Country.
“We know that Warm Springs is not alone facing these water challenges,” Chairman Raymond Tsumpti of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs said in exposing the lack of adequate infrastructure on his people’s reservation in Oregon.
“We also know there must be a better way for tribes to seek emergency assistance from the federal government to provide basic clean water to our members,” Tsumpti stated in written testimony. “Likewise, many tribes will need help maintaining and operating that infrastructure over time.”
