Tribal leaders advocate for support during Arizona tribal nations day

Dozens of people from tribal nations across Arizona gathered last week at the state Capitol to celebrate Indian Nations and Tribes Legislative Day.

“Arizona is a stronger state because of the 22 federally recognized tribes found here,” state Senate President Warren Petersen said during his speech.“As we enter the first week of the 56th legislative session, we’re anticipating significant improvements to our water supply, infrastructure, and broadband.”

Three tribal leaders addressed the joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives, discussing various issues important to their communities. The leaders included the San Carlos Apache Tribal Chairman Terry Rambler, Yavapai-Apache Chairwoman Tanya Lewis and the Hopi Tribes Chairman Timothy Nuvangyaoma.
