"Lost and unpaid federal benefits. They should raise the debt ceiling now as they have in bipartisan way for decades. And we absolutely should be talking about what investments we're going to make going forward. There's no reason to hold the country hostage while we're having those conversations. Congressional Republicans have stuck by their stance at raising the debt ceiling should come with a reduction in spending. Washington's junior U.S. senator calls on a member of the president's cabinet for more help in the crisis of murdered and missing indigenous women. Northwest news radio's Ryan Harris. In a committee hearing on the Department of the Interior's budget, democratic U.S. senator Maria Cantwell says a report finds Seattle and Tacoma among the cities with the highest number of cases of missing and murdered native women and girls. Our attorney general has identified at least a 113 unsolved cases in my state. Interior secretary Deb haaland told Cantwell, it's a priority issue, which is why they created a unit with 12 divisions, including one here in the northwest, aimed specifically at this problem.

"If the Supreme Court overturns this law, it will be more important than ever to protect native children and to stand up for tribal sovereignty. So I want you to know that I am right there with you on this. Even as native children face news threats, the United States still has not reckoned with its shameful history of cultural genocide and assimilation practices through its Indian boarding school policies. And that is why I have worked with my dear friend, secretary Deb haaland, back when she was still in Congress. And with wonderful advocates to introduce a bill to establish a commission to advance healing from the shameful legacy of the Indian boarding schools. Congresswoman sharice davids and I reintroduced this bill in the last Congress. Last year, the Senate committee on Indian affairs held a hearing on this issue and on my bill. And I want to acknowledge the good bipartisan work that the committee's chair and vice chair. Senators Brian schatz and Lisa Murkowski have done to advance commerce's work on this issue. Secretary Holland's launch of the federal Indian boarding school initiative at the department of interior has also been critical in elevating this issue. In her address, president sharp highlighted the importance of native representation across the highest levels of government and she is absolutely right. I'm a big believer that personnel is policy. And that means representation matters. Secretary of Holland is a perfect example of that. But we still have more work to do to get this across the finish line and your advocacy here will make a real difference. Now, president Sharpe also mentioned my bill, the honoring promises to native nations act. And if you'll bear with me for a minute, I'd like to talk about it too. You may remember that the U.S. commission on civil rights published a report in 2018 called broken promises. It found that the federal government has woefully underfunded programs for native peoples in areas of criminal justice and public safety, healthcare, education, housing, and economic development. And dedicated a chapter to each of those 5 topics. The report correctly stated the United States expects all nations to live up to their treaty obligations. It should live up to its own. And soon after that, Deb haaland and I decided to take action by developing legislation together. We worked with numerous stakeholders to prepare a legislative proposal for the honoring promises to native nations act. And then we incorporated the many great suggestions that Indian country offered in response. When secretary Holland moved on to her current job, congressman Derek Kilmer of Washington state took the baton from her. And he is now my excellent partner. In December, we introduced the honoring promises to native nations act, and it has 5 titles to match the 5 broken promises chapters. Throughout the bill, we prioritized full funding for federal native programs. No more shortfalls. And the bill ensures that the funding going to Indian country is mandatory. Fulfilling trust and treaty obligations is not optional. Too often federal decisions are made for Indian country, not with Indian country. And for that reason, our Bill articulates principles to ensure that meaningful and timely tribal consultation is the norm. And it begins to lay out a path to ensure that free prior informed consent becomes the standard. President sharp has championed this point for years. And I want to thank her and I want to thank NCA. For their invaluable assistance with the entire bill. So although this bill won't become law immediately, I think it's crucial for Congress to have legislation that says unequivocally the United States has broken its promises and the United States must start making good on them. Now, I will reintroduce the honoring promises to native nations act this Congress and your continued input and partnership will remain indispensable in moving forward. As I look forward to the rest of 2023 and the remainder of the 118th Congress, I'm filled with hope. Hope for all that we can accomplish together. Hope for continued learning partnership and new opportunities. Hope for the future of Indian country. It has been an honor to speak to you today. And I thank you once more for all that you do. Thank you.

"deb haaland" Discussed on Native Opinion Podcast an American Indian Perspective
"In these discussions. Go out to those communities, talk to them, listen to them, come back, and then we shall decide a monster ourselves what we're going to do about it. Isn't that what I read? Yeah, pretty much. Note how in that letter that you read. Excuse me, a part of the letter. No where does it say you will cooperate? That's great. I opened with. It's a voluntary request. Right. Now, here's the next part. If the federal government asks for any record, you may possess, we encourage cooperation. So if Deb haaland sends representatives from the department of interior and goes hey, Catholic Church. We'd like to see your records pertaining to boarding schools. But the way this sentence is structured that if they hadn't sent that direction, the church went no, no, no, not interested. The way I read this, their use of the word encourage. They're still giving them the latitude of saying, no, no, no, no, not interested. They're saying we urge you to cooperate. We encourage you to cooperate, but we're not telling you you have to cooperate. That's exactly what that tells me. Now, here's the next sentence from that letter. Quote, if there is a request from the government to enter Catholic property and investigate historic graves, we would encourage cooperation. Now why is that necessary? Yeah, instead of just saying, comply with the government's request. Without doing that, but why do you have to send direction? I understand for those of you that understand all the way, yeah, I understand the whole premise around separation church and state. I get it. But they literally have to send direction. Two other, again, bishops are church leaders. Rather high up, actually. Encouraging them. I think there was a word to cooperate. Well, this is that letter brother has a lot of implications. It implies that, okay, we feel the heat and you know we're gonna acknowledge that there's heat on us because of things that we've done in the past. And church leaders are saying, well, what do we do? Do we cooperate or not? And the hierarchy and the church is saying, well, let's see. What can we do to take the heat off of us? And take the heat off of, you know, our subordinates, but look like we're trying to cooperate. Oh, we'll use the word encourage. We would encourage cooperation. So they're saying, well, you know, we encourage cooperation, but we're not demanding that you cooperate. So see, it's giving the people an out. They could still say, well, you know, we don't really want to cooperate with you federal government. And there's not really much you can do to make us cooperate. We're encouraged to do so, but you know if we want to be nice guys we're going to. But if not if you basically, that's the church is saying, well, we're going to we're going to leave the door partially open. We're going to give ourselves an escape. And that's what they've done with we would encourage cooperation. Now again, we're talking about direction from bishops here in the United States. I just pulled up an article because it was something was tickling my brain, if you will..

"Versus a native woman. The first native american cabinet secretary in us history interior secretary. Deb haaland who used to be congressman from new mexico told the associated press that gabby potatoes cases reminder of missing native american. She said anytime woman faces assault rape murder kidnapping any of those things. It's very difficult. My heart goes to any family who has to endure that type of pain. And so of course. My heart goes out to the young woman who was found in wyoming. But where i can make a difference in particular is and addressing the missing and murdered indigenous peoples crisis which has occurred since the beginning of colonization of indigenous people on this continent for about the last five hundred years and it continues Interior secretary deb holland said You've used the example just of wyoming. Mary catherine nagel. Where gabby body was found right next to the grand teton national park. When it comes to missing indigenous people absolutely in montana they have a statewide commission and they released a report and from two thousand. Twenty twenty twenty percent or maybe twenty one percent basically one fifth of all the homicides in the state of indigenous people I can tell you that as a result of historical practices in the united states. We're not one fifth of the population in the united states. Today and i know native people. Don't make up a fifth of the population in wyoming but for them to be a fifth for us to be a fifth of the motors in homicides in that state is outrageous that you know as many others who work in. This area have have documented. We also have a real lack of data because for a lot of our native women and families there's simply no point according to the federal law enforcement who has jurisdiction is not going to do anything or unfortunately in many instances to We've seen corrupt. Visa law law officers actually harasser sexually assault are native women. There's a case in the montana supreme court about that right now. Where officer assaulted a native woman. And so we know that the data out there is actually under reported as is and it's a huge crisis in you know i'm just thankful that democracy now is is willing to create space to talk about it. We're talking to mary. Catherine nagel lawyer and citizen of cherokee nation We're also joined by amara cofer host and executive producer of the podcast. Black girl gone You know amara at. I couldn't help but think about simone biles when catherine nato was talking about the lack of fbi action Simone biles who said she shouldn't have even been in the last olympics considering how much she has suffered a reserves results of the sexual torture by dr larry nassar the fbi was onto this. The fbi refused to investigate or stop him. As a result he abused at least one hundred more Young women This ties in You've just begun. a podcast. Called black girl gone talk about why well thank you for having me so the the main reason why i started the bond gone podcast was number. What i you know. I was a fan of true crime but like many things. And you know this country. There is an underrepresentation of of black women women of color and these stories and what i noticed was that consumers of true crime especially true true crime podcast have been very intricate in solving some cases or having cases reopened or bring attention to cold cases and missing person cases But because the genre is dominated by stories of white people and white women those are the cases that get the attention and get the pressure and so i decided you know what if i was able to do this. But focusing on black women and potentially bringing that attention to these cases and helping to find these missing women helping to solve some of these cold cases by just getting the public interested in these women's stories And one of my angles was that. I wanted to humanize these victims. Because like you said one of the things that people still connected to the gabby petito ks. They can see her life. They can see her pictures and so they can see themselves and her and so i feel like it's important for people to also see themselves in black women and women of color because we are also victims of these crimes but we are mothers daughters. We are college students. Were all of these. Things that are can be relatable to people and so. I felt like it was really important for this podcast to be out there and to highlight these women and their stories. Can you tell us caracul. Story amara yes so care. Kohl's is a young woman missing from chicago. Illinois she was. I'm sorry she was three months pregnant at the time she went missing in february tober. Two thousand eighteen. I'm sorry she was a postal worker and here had a doctor's appointment that day that she went to the day that she went missing. She was supposed to go to the shedded ultrasound appointment she went. Her family spoke to her that day and then she called how to work the next day and no one has seen cure coal sense. There was very popular video. That was out that had what the public thought for a long time was cure colds in the video But just in february of this year it was revealed that this entire time when we thought that was chemicals in the video. It wasn't careful than the video and the police were aware of this. The there's been no suspects named in her case her The the father of her unborn child was a person of interest but he was kind of allowed to just move out of state. And there's been very little movement on the case and the past few years Her family is still out there The postal service had offered a reward for her for information about her disappearance. But there's there's really been very little national coverage and there's been very little movement on the case and the past few years. What about the family that reached out to you. Because you're doing black girl gone the podcast. Jennifer blackman yes so jennifer black men. She is a mother missing from a river rogue michigan. I got a message from a friend of hers about two months into the podcast asked me to cover the story of their friend who has been missing since december twenty second twenty twenty and one of the things that they really wanted this to be out there and at the time when i did episode. I really didn't even have that big of a following. But she just wanted somebody to tell her friends story and put this information out there. And so yeah. Jennifer has been missing from river road since december. Twenty second twenty twenty She has four children. Her daughter just went off to college. She miss christmas. She mr and when i spoke to the friend of hers last week there has been no information. No movement on the case Since then and that's just kind of like a steam that happens with these stories of these missing. Black women is dead there. There is nothing. The police are hesitant to release information. Suspects are allowed to move away or to disappear and so the families are really left kind of trying to do this on their own so again. An estimated sixty four thousand black women or girls are missing in the united states. The national center for missing and exploited children estimates out of six hundred.

This titanic is a large agency online. But i guess what i think is one of the most powerful things than ryan helpful is that i think those in the way she interacts with people and the perspective that she brings from her lived experience and the people and the experience of the people that she has surrounded herself with. She's made very smart choices about the people that she is bringing on to work with her. That i think that that her leadership a excites people will bring people on and i think hopefully because she listens to other perspectives and she incorporates. It into or thinking. i'm. I'm hopeful that that will help accomplish the change that's needed. It will help build back up an agency that really has been devastated from the inside out just in terms of personnel and resources But that will bring people together and bring people together outside of the agency Toward a vision that is a vision about a shared prosperity and a vision that includes preserving this unique Natural heritage that we have in our public lands as something essential to What it means to be american at what is special about this nation last question. Your career within our dc has been most of the time in washington dc. Except you have recently moved to wyoming. And you're out of laremy now. Is that right. So how how has that move. Changed your perspective on your job and american lands. Well it was a that was intentional. Because i felt like. And i've always felt doing the work in wash- intended it must be informed by Views and experiences on the ground in the west so even while working in washington. I made it a regular habit to get out of washington the to the last but when i couldn't to make sure i was talking with building relationships with people who are on the ground in west but but i was very intentional incoming to why to work on the ground for a while. Now that of my daughter's college and kind of off on their own. I had a little bit our flexibility to do that. And i and i think it is easier. And i've already found that it's easier to have the conversations that happen when you're having the conversations with people in your community and an too often unfortunately in washington. You're you're forced to the corners. I mean there's a lot of posturing the gets in the way of a real collaborative conversation and so I think that You know there are a lot of challenges that estate on wyoming faces right now in transitioning to a different energy economy but i think by listening and understanding the impacts and the consequences of the transition and addressing them. That's the way that we're going.

"To saying no. We need to protect his lands. Now yes so actually so that would be one path for that. Actually what has happened. Is that the justice department and the plaintiffs in those cases so so there's a case related to bears case related to grand staircase. They are both consolidated. Bean heard before the same. Federal judge in washington dc But but the justice department that that case those cases be stayed in so in fact That cases not moving forward and the reason they did so because the biden administration wanted the time monnet little bit of time to decide what to do and so it actually makes action by the biden administration. Quick action pretty important And and so You have various groups involved strongly making the case a a a new proclamation. Reestablish returning those to monuments to their previous glory is the central and should be done quickly by president is now in the meantime is the question about you know how they are managed and and what happens now. Trump president trump in his agency's both the bureau of land management on the for service are involved. They did go ahead. Freddie quickly get some management plans it plays for trump's new monuments bottom line You know the secretary. How has responsibility for protecting those lands. And so she she showed and she can look to the five tribes who are behind the proposals forbears years and use their advice unused wisdom and experience to help manage of those lands. Those lands that really were part of the original proposal. So that's what. I would suggest that she do. In the meantime until one point nine million acres make that clear. Well yeah. I mean she's got she's got discretion. Has she manages those lands. Nrdc is definitely following the tribes lead. On what the appropriate size should be But but i should be clear that the quick and complete action by president. I'm to restore the two monuments is is critically important. Senator mitt romney and the governor of utah are calling for a slowdown calling for legislative solution. Of course we've seen this song and dance before going back to bishops public land's initiative five years ago which he kept promising was going to be the grand bargain and just fell flat on. Its face. is there any indication to you that this time is different. Could there be legislation. That gets everyone to the table or are there. Are there any good faith actors in utah delegation at well. I lived through that those efforts which i it first started. I think in a sincere way to come together around some kind of solution and actually in you know. I think it was twenty nine teen summer. Twenty nineteen there was it now called the dingo conservation act but there is legislation passed by congress in overwhelming numbers that included a pretty large package of wilderness in utah. It was not land related to bears years but unfortunately in the bears ears geography. The attempts have been made in the past as they played out. We're not sincere and did not result in any kind of resolution and that has in fact why secretary jewel and president obama acted when they did I don't see anything meaningful. On the ground up to justify reopening. I i really just see it as the delay tactic and fact is There are as a bama's eloquent proclamation surveyors ears articulates. They are very compelling reasons for protecting that landscape now. And that's what president should do you cover a very broad portfolio issues that in our dc everything from oil and gas or for him to to wilderness and wildlife conservation. What are some of the other urgent items on your agenda With the start of the new administration that we haven't touched on yet. Yeah so. I read the lands division and so we do have a number of people working on different issues. We are very focused right now on On how are public lands up play in to soften the climate crisis and so for us that is for nrdc and our lands. Division right now at is very focused on management of federal fossil fuels and then also Natural climate solutions. And this is where the president's Thirty by thirty initiatives comes in for me. That is a very exciting agenda to protect thirty percent of the lance of our nation's lands oceans and inland waters. It fits into an international initiative. That's really you know. Clearly gaining significant momentum that international initiative started. Several years ago. I i was first introduced to it when i read your book. Half earth which. I find very Bali that. We're going to have a hope of preserving the natural systems on which all life depends. We have to be giving what what wilson says is we have to give half the earth to nature now. That's not like half the earth becomes wilderness areas and some people have criticized. It for justice is an agenda is something you know a hidden agenda of locking everything. Nonsense that we've seen. Yeah i mean it's very much about bringing diverse interests in to this goal of.

"More than a day or two but that is okay we desperately need the moisture right now on the show. Today we're going to check in on deb holland's first few weeks as interior secretary to say she has hit the ground. Running would be an understatement. The secretary went to utah earlier this month. Making good on a promise to the state's congressional delegation to visit bears ears and grand staircase escalante national monuments before making a recommendation to president biden about whether to restore or expand the monument boundaries. That president trump attempted to shrink now. It's worth noting that the tribal nations that originally proposed the bears ears national monument have made it clear. They want president biden to protect all one point nine million acres of their proposal. Not the one point. Three million acres that president obama protected in two thousand sixteen and after that utah visit secretary holland signed two major secretarial orders. That really set the stage for what we what we're going to see from the interior department under her leadership and so joining me to help break down everything in those orders and talk about national monuments and a whole lot. More sharon pacino. Sharon is the senior director of the land division at the natural resources defense council. She's an attorney who works on environmental reviews public participation. the freedom of information act she also teaches public. Land's law sharon. Welcome to the podcast. It's great to be here thank you. So let's tackle these secretary lew orders in order the first one's about reversing the legacy of former interior secretary bernhardt and the trump administration that second order creates a new climate task force so reversing all of these trump orders. What is covered there. And what's the practical effect of it. Sure well it's Very significant i I would characterize it. In general saying you know in that secretario order Interior has really assumed it's critical role in addressing catastrophic climate change. And so there was a there were a series of actions. Secretarial orders that had been issued during the trump administration that in her order secretary hallen reverses several of them doe was fossil fuel extraction and another key component out was how we are processing decisions that affect public lands and the role of environmental review and public participation in those decisions and then what will be the practical effect of this order. How long will it be before we see results coming from the way all of the various interior department bureaus do business. Well there will be a few things that will have an immediate and one example of that is as a result secretary. Jalen's orders up lay will see much more meaningful consultation with tribal nations occur. It's interesting to in this this The controversy is still going on around. The dakota access pipeline and at the end of the obama administration way really saw the federal government seeking taking action to engage in in a true of collaborative nation-to-nation manner with the tribes at the end of the obama. Administration you actually have a pretty significant action by the solicitor at the interior department to to put a hold on pipeline from going forward of course of that. That was the result that happened with when when president was elected came in but there was a process that was initiated to to define develop what what consultation nation to nation consultation matt and. I think we'll see this administration on secretary talent picking up on some of those ideas and where that left off. I'd like to also mention Cole and why the orders that was revoked by secretary howard was trump's action revoking the moratorium that had been put in place. There has been some discussion about. What does that mean. That moratorium is back in place not necessarily unfortunately because there was language in a satellite jewels order putting the moratorium in place that said it would remain effective until revoked which trump do jeff that means that we go back to the obama and the jewel order but can say is that i think we will definitely new coldly. Seen will definitely receive greater scrutiny and one key piece of that is that the environmental review that is done for newly seen for co leasing will include a robust analysis of the climate change in impacts. And so the action that Secretary jalan took in. This was in her second order along with the climate task force. Was that see specifically directed the interior department to follow its own rules related to nipah review. Which clearly do require considering indirect accumulative impacts at one assessing decision said is proposing to make a leasing coal. Stay just about to ask about that with that. Second order is is there a possible that part of that order about nipah and considering the social cost of greenhouse gases is that potentially does that could add a bigger short term impact than this climate task force itself. That was the headline of the order. Well it certainly will will have yes. It will have.

There's an old saying here in the West that the interior secretary has a more direct effect on people's day to day lives than the president. This is multiplied on reservations. In her confirmation hearing, Deb Holland nodded to the fact that the department she now leads was historically a tool of oppression toward tribes. If an indigenous woman from humble beginnings can be confirmed as secretary of the interior Our country holds promise for everyone mending a legacy of broken promises is a priority for many of the 574 federally recognized tribes on the Nez Perce reservation elders like Mary Jane Miles, See Holland as a turning point. It feels like we're moving and we are claiming What we could have done a long time ago. The Nez Perce consider much of the northwest their ancestral land, but through a serious of treaties there, now confined to a small slice of remote Idaho River country. U. S government is supposed to protect that land and it's salmon. But the fish the lifeline for people here along the Clearwater River are nearing extinction due to dams and climate change. Miles. Also points to a legacy of toxic mess is from mining that the tribe had little say over. I think we've noticed that maybe we've been taken, but nationwide, tribal leaders think this might start changing under Holland. The Biden administration is reinstating an Obama era rule requiring consultation. That means any future lands, development or right of way. Projects like a pipeline must be approved first by tribes and Secretary Holland is going to oversee all of that protection of this government relationship is all important to the tribes in Colorado. John Echo Hoggett, The Native American Rights Fund says that relationship is fraught because interior agencies like the Bureau of Indian Affairs have been chronically underfunded. He says. The previous administration also spurned tribal input on major lands, decisions, something he's looking forward to restarting. Well, it would prevent things from happening. You know, happened to us here during the last administration elimination of 85% of the Bears ears National Monument, the Keystone XL pipeline, President Obama formally protected the Bears Ears Monument on Utah land considered sacred to native people. Then the Trump Administration dramatically reduced its boundaries, and there's pressure on the new administration to reinstate or even expand them.

Unlike with previous administrations, there's no learning curve with Secretary Holland. There's always such high turnover within government entities that you know, sometimes that plays as an excuse. And as a government entity, there should not be any excuse for the trust responsibility that you hold to the tribes for the nest purse That trust responsibility is at the heart of a new deal brokered by a Republican congressman to remove four dams on the Snake River just downstream from here.

"And Natural Resource is committee today held confirmation hearings for New Mexico representative Deb Holland to be the next secretary of interior. A confirmation would be historic. She would be the first Native American Cabinet member in the nation's history. Her nomination by President Biden has also been criticized by oil State Republicans because of her stated opposition issues such as to fracking in the Dakota access pipeline. Ecuadorian reports from Fresno. The history being made by Deb Holland's nomination was hailed by all on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, even those who are skeptical of her policy views The special nature of the moment was evident as the New Mexico congresswoman introduced herself to the committee and the nation. I spent summers in the Sita, or small village on Laguna Pueblo, the location of my grandparent's traditional home. It was there that I learned about my culture from my grandmother by watching her cook and by participating in traditional feast days and ceremonies, it was in the cornfields with my grandfather, where I learned the importance of water. And protecting our resource is where I gained a deep respect for the Earth Committee chair, Joe Manchin outlined the immensity of the task. The Interior Department manages 500 million acres of land. 1/5 of the entire country. The 70,000 employees oversee Parks Monuments Wildlife refuge because dams, reservoirs and canals. It also supervisors mineral resource lands that produced 20% of the nation's energy. Citing previous statements Deb Holland had made about fossil fuel production. Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, the committee's ranking member, set the theme which Republican members came back to repeatedly. Oil production in federal lands and oil pipelines, especially the Dakota access pipeline. By signing an executive order to ban all new oil coal gas leases on federal lands. The president is taking a sledgehammer to Western states economies. Ban on federal leasing could result in 33,000 workers losing their jobs in Wyoming. Representative Hollins home state of Wyoming, 62,000 workers stand to lose their jobs. Holland also faced questions over her appearance at protests of the Dakota access pipeline in North Dakota before she was elected to Congress in 2018.

Representative Deb Haaland Discusses Equal Pay for Native Women, and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
"Representative of Holland welcome to the podcast. Thank you very much for having me. It's been an incredible week. We started the week off of course, was Tuesday with the presidential debate, the first one. Of of the the election cycle, which I was one really excited about you know. But for lack of a better word, you know it was kind of disastrous and you know we ended the week with several people when the president's inner circle testing positive for Kobe nineteen and I guess the thing that kept coming back to me because this was happening in the wake of news about I. Think it was something like eight, hundred, fifty thousand women having to leave the workplace like all of these things that are kind of distracting us from this inequality that women are still facing. The native women because we're just ending last week it was native American women's equal pay. Day Yes. So we're not talking about yes. In there are so many important phase it we should be talking about absolutely. So let's talk about him. I think when I look at the Biden plan and I look of what he has in store for native women especially in relation to equal pay I don't think I've seen that before that amount of focus. Well, how would you grade his focus on that area specifically? Oh, I, think it's I think it's you know it's I. Think it's an a plus the other day on native. Women's equal pay day Joe Biden Nationally tweeted tweeted that out and So we re tweeted her tweet specifically talking about native women's Equal Pay Day I'm super excited about everything that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will do when they get in office in. This is just one of them. He I think the number right now is something like when. I read this figure is really hard to fathom that something like native women are paid fifty cents on every dollar to in comparison to a man right and kind of makes me angry a bit and I think if you do the math, it takes native women twenty one months almost two years to be paid equal. What demand makes in a single here. quite stark. Yes. It's. It's very stark, and of course, it's you know women of color are the ones who are suffering from the inequity. Right and I mean, look we we. We are single moms were taking care of family members we I mean there's a lot that we're doing was so little. And so it's time to to start paying attention to those under. Communities Absolutely. So immigrants to the pandemic we all know by now that women are going to get hit harder women of color are going to be hit harder. What is it in the native community native American community that is worsening the pandemic and the fallout from the pandemic especially for women? Well, I mean look wait what we saw as soon as a pandemic really started to take hold in our country is that it highlighted the disparities that that take place in communities of color. That's why we have the highest rates. In here in New Mexico native Americans make up to eleven percent of the population at one time where over fifty percent of the positive cases. So it's a combination of things. We don't have the infrastructure. We need those a lot of homes right now in Indian, country that don't have running water don't have electricity. There's a lot of homes I you know sixty five percent or something like that. It might even be more don't quote me on that but broadband Internet service that type of infrastructure is keeping our students from learning. It's keeping our elderly folks from accessing telehealth services. because. If they're in a rural community and live a really long way away from a hospital or clinic. I mean those are things that that those communities are unable to access. So so it's terrible and you know we're we suffer from a lot of pollution right UNRIG claimed mines in polluted water and in things. That have happened in the past that have never been remedied. So those are all things that we have to work on remedy. Is there anything in relation to greater exposure type of work that you do that they do in liquidities? Well, I mean we have frontline workers in every community right? There's. A main, there's grocery stores in the end of our. Indian communities there are of you know folks are are working in clinics and hospitals and things like that. So. Sure and then, and then there's people who have to go out of their native communities to work in the cities because those are the only jobs they have N I mean any number of frontline jobs that we've heard about right folks in public transportation people were saying grocery stores in healthcare facilities you know hospitals and clinics, and so forth dealing with this pandemic. So yes, I'm I mean we and then you take all that back to your community it's what is consistently happened since this pandemic took hold. In in all of those communities of color, that's another reason why the rates are so
