we serve three tribes. climate change will have lasting impact on tribal lands, water and community. tribal nations have witnessed and adapted the changes that occurred over a millennium. however, tribal nations face a rapidly changing climate to protect the health and well-being of our communities on a fraction of our original homeland. since the start of the 20th century, the average annual temperature is between -- the northeastern regions have observed the increase. this relates the changes in the ecosystems. this has been seen on the atlantic coast of the region. cover with sinking land and coastal areas and damage to coastal wetlands. some areas in our region, especially in the gulf, have seen sea level rise of 1-3 ft. future projections indicate that sea levels will rise another 1 to 4 ft within 8 to 11 ft rise possible by 2100. my background shows a salt marsh, which is one of the few places are tribal nation can access to fish, shellfish, um, and practice our culture. one ft sea level rise you can

so the administration is not listening to tribes in regard to the to tribes. in regard to president sharp's comments, that reality is the united states the globalen community has increased by ten tons. is so it's not the united states. i yield back. >> next we will go to rep -- >> i just note that as the title of this meeting says tribal voices, tribal wisdom. i note that as policymakers, we benefit great -- greatly when we listen to tribal voices. many of the witnesses have spoken about, per tees of tribal nations and natural resource management. and the value of indigenous knowledge. on november 15th, the office of science and technology policy and the white house council on environmental quality released a memo detailing the administration's commitment to elevating indigitious ecological knowledge in federal policymaking processes. and that includes a work group. this work group will promote mutually beneficial partnerships between the government and indigenous communities. doctor, what would you like to see this working group consider as it prepares the gu

the same is true for the tribes. the tribes are kind of like a microcosm of what's possible, looking at the assets, the resources they have whether it's when , solar. whether it's geothermal. maybe wave energy. that could include even things like fossil fuels. it's important that as we move forward we learn from both successes and failures anof others. and we're not your but we're not pursuing at least right now their strategies although i'm hearing more and more about how we need to move in that direction. it is crystal clear to me that that direction is not one that one complies with or recognizes -they have the resources in the united states. number two, it fails to meet the reliability test. number three, it fails to meet the affordability test and as i've mentioned in committee before look no further than the state of california as to how to not pursue climate for clean energy strategies . higher emissions, higher prices, most dependent state on foreign energy. one of the tribes we're going to hear from today is

is descended from a tribe. you may know not not know what that tribe is. but you are descended from a tribe and he would remind you. that you are all indigenous. because you are indigenous to the planet you're in business to our mother earth. i'm gonna leave you with this thought briefly. crazy horse. he said that we would end up living in the shadow world. but the real world. is the world behind this one. it is the world of dreams. so today. i ask you to dream there was another profit. and he sang a song and he said. you may say i'm a dreamer. but i'm not the only one the only one. i am here today we see they're getting we're not the only one that has your asking us to leave right now but all of our staff is over at the indigenous students we're trying to raise user awareness we're trying to bring this treaty to light and we're trying right now to create some women's retreats in the beautiful place. and earth rights is the name of it.

the dominant tribe back in the soviet era was the bomb tribe. they are still the dominant tribe.ll the other tribes were tribes at the farmer captured. so within benin today you have the tribes that captured everybody on board the clotilda, and the handful of tribes that were represented. everyone in benin today is a descendant of people who are capturing people or the people who were captured. by the edge of this simmering tension between these tribes where tribes that were captured -- they would say don't speak to them, don't go to the stores, we won't send our kids to school with them. so the government is concerned about a rwandan style genocide. the rwandan genocide was a tribal disagreement that got out of control. here you have a bunch of tribes angry, and they carried that forward. ancestor worship was a big deal. that's how voodoo got to south america, howard got to the caribbean and how it got to america, louisiana. all of that came out of benin. so please tribes are still bubbling under the surface. so benin is taking an amazing an active role in trying to come to term

professor laurence tribe in massachusetts, thank you.fessor tribe, it is, as i say, one year since those extraordinary events on capitol hill. isn't it time to be positive? time to say that, despite those extraordinary events, the us institutions of government withstood the storm? well, i wish we could say that, because i am an optimist by nature, but we came so close to losing our democracy that simply basking in our having survived would be a dangerous course of action. it turns out even though trump is no longer president, that he has learned quite a bit from his failure to successfully overturn the results of the last election to the point where he and a very loyal following and tens of millions of americans, i'm afraid, are propagating the myth that the last election was stolen, thatjoe biden is not the legitimate president and that anything that they can do in order to seize the white house is fair game — and they are changing the rules at the state level where american elections, including the election for president, are ultimatel

professor tribe, what did you hear in that speech today?heard a person of great principle and integrity, very smart. i heard him describe one important set of investigations going from the ground up and from the boots to the suits in terms of the january six perpetrators. it is important that he do that. but i heard absolutely nothing, nothing about the larger plot to overturn the election. that was not january six. january 3rd was the day on which the president, then president, twisted the arm of raffensperger. late december he was doing things with people like jeffrey clark. that broader plot was plenty. plan b was the one they had to resort to with the violence of the capitol. you know, it doesn't necessarily -- you don't work your way up from the people who smashed windows to arm twisting which inflicted violence throughout a broader plot. it doesn't necessarily take a long time to build a case for seditious conspiracies. in fact, i was looking it up, in march of 1954, ten puerto rican separatist stormed the capitol and they were prosec

in 2021, kimberly dylan, a citizen of rosebud sioux, she joined the oglala and rosebud sioux tribes in suing south dakota for requiring voters to register as state agencies and d.m.v.'s which were hours away from tribal lands. they were making it harder for people to even get registered to vote by saying drive three and four hours away. many neighbors went to great lengths to submit their voter registrations to those state agencies but the agencies never sent them to the local election offices, even after they traversed and got that job done in making that journey. they just want to submit them to let them get registered to vote. as a result, her right to vote in the 2020 presidential election was taken away. kimberly asked, and i quote, how many other people face this violation of our basic freedom to vote? we cannot allow voter suppression to continue in south dakota or anywhere in native america. these are american citizens whose rights were taken away from them for partisan advantage. jesus and kimberly's voices were taken away from them, just like countless other americans who fac
