He was a powerful voice for Tribal Nations as we endeavor to heal the historical damages to our tribes by using Indian Gaming as a vehicle for economic independence and sovereignty. Ernie, you will be missed by many but we also will celebrate you and your legacy.

Today I join Indian Country in my expression of grief over the passing of Ernie Stevens Jr, longtime leader of @IndianGaming85. In recent years, I came to know Ernie as many of you have, as a friend but more importantly as our champion.

@AsstSecNewland This is the first time that the federal government is acknowledging this painful chapter of our history - one that was facilitated by the Department I now lead. This work is not done. Our Road to Healing has not ended. It is just beginning.

Today, we released the final volume of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative's investigative report on our nation's troubled yet largely ignored boarding school era. It's an era that has impacted every Native person I know, including my own family. doi.gov/pressreleases/…
