MADISON – Oneida Nation Chairman Tehassi Hill delivered the annual Wisconsin State of the Tribes Address Tuesday at the State Capitol. Chairman Hill’s speech focused on the current and future state of Tribal governments and reserve communities in Wisconsin. Assembly Democratic Leader Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) expressed his sincere appreciation for the tribal nations that traveled to Madison to take part in this important event.
“Our state government must be an active partner in working with Native communities and I applaud Governor Evers for the investment his state budget makes in our tribal nations.” Key highlights of the governor’s budget proposal related to tribal communities include:
“While we honor and celebrate our tribal history in Wisconsin, we also must address the reality that our Native communities face some of the biggest gaps in opportunity in our state. I am confident we can make strides to improve this with a renewed commitment by our state government to engage with tribal leaders. Assembly Democrats are committed to listening to, investing in, and working with Wisconsin’s tribal communities to build a better future,” Rep. Hintz concluded. |
