Madam Speaker, as a member of the Chickasaw Nation and co-\nchair of the Congressional Native American Caucus, I have always voiced\nmy support for the federal government to honor its treaty obligations.\n  For far too long in our Nation's history, the federal government\naccumulated a sorry record of making promises to tribes and then\nbreaking those promises as soon as it was expedient to do so. Only in\nrecent years has that record started to improve.\n  Last month the Rules Committee held a hearing on one of these treaty\nrights: a delegate to the House of Representatives as enumerated in the\nCherokee Nation's 1835 Treaty of New Echota. This hearing marked an\nimportant step in examining this specific treaty and understanding the\nlegal and procedural factors surrounding this issue.\n  I'm very proud that we held this hearing and want to thank Chairman\nMcGovern for his leadership and the committee's willingness to\nhighlight tribal sovereignty.\n  The conversations that we had in the Rules Committee that day are a\nstarting point for other committees of jurisdiction to study this\nmatter further and address some of the lingering questions surrounding\nthis. As this work continues, all such claims by tribes that possess\nthem should be considered and examined as well.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2022-12-23-pt1-PgE1355-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 55.35027594305575, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
