As I write this note, I have just returned from the memorial service of AIANTA friend, former Nevada Senator and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. I’m so saddened by the passing of Senator Reid, who was a staunch ally of Native Americans, including supporting the passage of the NATIVE Act, which was signed into law in 2016.

My own family, and my AIANTA family.
