house of representatives. this runs about two hours. >> okay. all right. the rules committee will come to order. america's history with the indigenous people that are native to this land is atrocious. there is no other way to put it. it is appalling. thankfully, it is becoming common to acknowledge this publicly, whether that means recognizing native american heritage month every november or pointing out that this capitol is built on the stolen land of indigenous people who lived along the potomac river long before this country existed. the truth is not simply acknowledging this truth is not enough. words alone do not absolve us of the horrific injustices brought our native american communities at the hands of the u.s. government. actions do. that is why i am hopeful that today's historic hearing opens a new door toward building greater understanding and the possible inclusion of these communities in congress. in 1835, the u.s. government and individuals from the cherokee nation negotiated the treaty of new ech

house of representatives. before i continue my remarks, i want to personally thank you, mister chairman, for holding this hearing today. i am hopeful that the discussions we have today help lay the groundwork for other committees of jurisdiction to examine this issue in more detail. regardless, today marks an important first step toward examining the questions and the process surrounding the seating of a delegate from the cherokee nation. as a member of the chickasaw nation and co-sheriff of the -- caucus, i have always voiced my support for the federal government to honor its treaty obligation. far too often -- excuse me, for far too long, the federal government has a sorry record of making promises to tribes and then breaking those promises as soon as it was expedient to do so. only in recent years has that improved. with today's hearing, we begin the examination of a specific promise made in the treaty of new echota in 1835. i certainly welcome the examination of this question by congress. but it seems clear

this is nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house of representatives here and effectively and a rural culturerted onto the floor of the house of representatives and let's listen into the vice president kamala harris. the senator from _ president kamala harris. the senator from new _ president kamala harris. the senator from new york, mr schumer, _ senator from new york, mr schumer, the senator from illinvis— schumer, the senator from illinois mr durbin, the senator from — illinois mr durbin, the senator from washington, mrs murray. that_ from washington, mrs murray. that is— from washington, mrs murray. that is kamala harris because she presides over the senate, announcing the names the senators were going to be escorting president zelensky into the chamber and so, this is the protocol and nancy pelosi hasjust is the protocol and nancy pelosi has just announced which members of the house of representatives will be escorting president zelensky and that means this big moment for ukraine's wartime president andindeed for ukraine's wartime president and indeed destroyed meaning of the us congress

i am i hope that soon he will be introduced to the house of representatives, why do i say? because the cec does not have the right to initiate legislation. in this case, the head of state, therefore, initiated this law. therefore, uh, it will be introduced to the house of representatives and we hope that uh, the procedure for its consideration in parliament will pass quickly enough. although i do not exclude that we still have to work seriously both in the profile commission and for consideration in the first reading, for the second reading and then approval in the council of the republic that is, this is a systematic work. i hope that, well maybe january, maybe february next year. we will see a ready-made law. well, in any case, the change is so drastic that, of course, the elaboration must be of very high quality, because , well, it is certainly and understandable that the referendum held this year also made its own adjustments, because we adopted an updated constitution, constitutional norms. and they also had to find their reflection, uh in uh electoral code. besides. uh
