In fact, children in these cases from having access to it,
not because they're addicted that way as well.
So what do you think right now with all the issues presented,
education, cannabis regulation,
missing and murdering indigenous women,
what would your opinion say?
What's next?
What do the states really did try to push with the states?
That is a tough question because they're all equally as important.
So they're all equally as important on the scenes in murdered indigenous women in relatives.
It's certainly critical in our state.
And you have to look at where we are.
We're located between Chicago.
We're located between Duluth, where that's a major hub,
international hub with freights coming in and out of there.
And then just having that human traffic entrail through our state.
And human trafficking, you know, is directly related to MMIW.
We know that human trafficking is more lucrative than drugs,
because you don't have to read up on a human.
You can use that person over and over.
I worked on human trafficking awareness and prevention project in the state
and interviewed a forensic nurse out of that county.
And she told us that Milwaukee is a Pimp University.
People come to Milwaukee to learn how to dehumanize.
That's in our state.
And so, you know, we can't say that the issue is not real.
The issue is real for the trafficking.
The other equally important issue to our people is protecting the water.
Protecting our waterways.
So we have the biggest watershed in the world.
One of the biggest watersheds in the world, Lake Superior and the Great Lakes.
So what are we doing to protect them?
I know what the tribes are doing to protect them.
So tribes, you know, in the East Senate and the speech,
Chairman Fowler said in the speech that it is an inherent responsibility
to protecting the earth and protecting our waterways.
So all of our legislation, all of our environmental projects are to do that.
To not only protect them, but to enhance them through, you know,
water restoration projects and things of that nature.
But I think it's critical that the tribes and the state were together
to protect our waterways.
Collaboration.
Yes, absolutely.
So I think, like I said, there's a lot of issues that President Fowler
and Chairman Fowler brought up that are as important to tribes
as they should be to the state in that we're together
and collaboration is definitely what we need to do.
And having these addresses every year and gathering
and seeing our representatives, our state representatives on the floor
and supporting our chairperson at the time who's given the speech
and standing up and giving a pause for certain issues.
And it's really refreshing to see that they support us like that.
So having these events in this particular state of the tribes address
is critical to the state tribal relations and continuing good relationships.
Absolutely.
Thank you so much.
Great interview.
Thank you.
Can we take a quick thank you?
