This pivotal session focused on issues faced by Native American and rural communities in the areas of child welfare, health resources, and tax policies. This was the first Ways & Means Committee ever held on Tribal land.
Having been recommended to hearing organizers by Prevent Child Abuse Arizona Executive Director Claire Louge, Elisia participated at the hearing as a witness to shed light on the crucial topics of expanding primary prevention and promoting equitable child welfare resources for Tribal Nations.
