This week, I was fortunate to visit Indian Country, to meet with tribal leaders and community members, to visit HHS programs in two tribal communities, and to discuss the important work we are doing together to serve these communities.
Our government-to-government partnership is crucial to helping those in Indian Country who rely on our services and that is why these relationships are so important to this Administration and our Department. We’ve made progress for American Indian and Alaska Native communities, but there is still work to be done. I meet quarterly with my Secretary’s Tribal Advisory Committee, but it is also important to see firsthand how our collaboration can strengthen tribes and direct resources where they are needed most.
I wanted to share a few snapshots from the visit with you:
