Assistant Secretary Anne White: The 17th Annual Intergovernmental Meeting

摘要

Good morning everyone. It's great to be here, and I see it as a tremendous opportunity to participate at the 17th Annual Intergovernmental Groups Meeting. I did want to take a quick moment to thank Rex Buck from the Wanapum for the beautiful words in your invocation. I also want to acknowledge the presence of other tribal leadership here this morning. Specifically, I want to acknowledge Council Member Edwin Lewis of the Yakama Nation, Secretary Casey Mitchell of the Nez Perce Tribe, Chairman Nathan Small of Shosho-ne-Bannock Tribes, Gov. Perry Martinez of the San Ildefonso Pueblo, Lt. Gov. James Naranjo of the Santa Clara Pueblo, and First Lt. Gov. Bryon Yeppa of the Jemez Pueblo.
