This is the first committee hearing on tribal infrastructure since 2002. For far too long, the voices of Native Americans have been woefully underrepresented in Congress. Issues affecting tribal communities have routinely been minimized and ignored. It's my hope that our committee can serve as a proving ground for the greater inclusion of tribal voices in federal policy this congress and that tribes can be regularly consulted on national infrastructure issues. Today's hearing is just the beginning of that effort, said Davids. Davids urged the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to keep the priorities of tribal communities in mind while developing its legislative agenda in a letter sent to committee leadership last year. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
