Honored to deliver remarks on the House floor today in celebration of @rocRMSC's new permanent exhibit, which honors Indigenous culture and showcases Native art. I look forward to touring the exhibit and meeting the visionary behind this inspiring project, curator Jamie Jacobs.

This week, we celebrated the reveal of the new Hodinöšyö:nih Continuity | Innovation | Resilience Exhibit at @rocRMSC. I was honored to fund accessibility and preservation efforts to ensure the legacy of the Hodinöšyö:nih people is made permanent through this exhibit.
