We want to give you an opportunity to see the issues we address as large land-based Tribes that are not being addressed by any other organizations, such as transportation, healthcare and voting rights. COLT played an active role in changing the American Rescue Plan Act from NAHASDA population numbers to utilizing tribal enrollment numbers.
