“Senator John McCain epitomized courage, conviction and commitment in his service to the people of the United States and citizens of Tribal nations across the country. His passion and unflinching honesty were hallmarks of his decades of service. His long tenure on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and his support for tribal sovereignty, self-governance and self-determination will have a positive impact on federal Indian policy for generations to come. This is a time of great sadness for our entire nation, but we would be remiss not to express our condolences to the family and close friends of Senator John McCain who will miss him most.”
Bill Anoatubby, Governor,
