Supporting Indian Country

Washington’s 6^th district is home to 11 federally recognized tribes, so Representative Kilmer understands how important it is for the federal government to fulfill its treaty and trust responsibilities and fully respect its unique government-to-government relationship with every sovereign tribal nation.  He also recognizes the new challenges posed by climate change to the tribal communities who have lived along Washington’s coast since time immemorial.  That’s why he’s fought for federal reforms to support tribal sovereignty and to provide resources to tribal governments to protect their communities and sacred sites from the impacts of climate change.
