Joe Garcia Tribal Quotations

The indigenous nations living near and adjacent to the present-day borders are the first to feel the impacts upon their territory from those who seek to do us harm. Whether the threats are drug-smuggling, which place the health and well-being of our children at risk, or terrorist activities which can cause great harm to the cultural social and economic viability of tribal communities, we will gather to share our thoughts on this important topic and seek solutions.

We are concerned that this year?s proposed budget by the administration reduces effective funding for tribal priorities.
