The Coalition of Large Tribes congratulates Navajo Nation citizen Billy Kirkland on his confirmation by the U.S. Senate today to serve as Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs. Billy has lived and breathed the joys and challenges of large land base tribes his entire life.
From the cradle, he has learned to respect and honor Treaties as the supreme law of the land. COLT looks forward to working with AS-IA Kirkland as he advances the Trump Administration’s pro-growth, deregulatory agenda for tribes and supports Secretary Burgum’s initiatives on energy dominance and tribal self-determination.
