We can never repay the brave men and women who laid down their lives for our freedom, but we can embrace the loved ones they left behind and honor their legacy with gratitude for the freedoms their sacrifice made possible. We remember and honor them this Memorial Day.

Following a two-part field hearing I hosted in Anchorage and Bethel to hear firsthand from Alaskans impacted by ex-Typhoon Halong, I spoke on the Senate floor about the storm’s ongoing impacts. Communities facing environmental threats and natural disasters shouldn’t have to navigate impossible choices alone. We need a federal disaster response system that is coordinated, easier to access, and built to serve people before, during, and after a crisis hits. Alaska’s communities, and communities across the country, deserve action, safety, and support.
As Chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee, I’m proud of the bipartisan progress we made this week in advancing these eight bills through committee to the Senate floor, including my bill the Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025. We are now one step closer to enactment, and therefore, enabling SCF to make the needed investments in Quyana Clubhouse to expand the delivery of mental health and social services.

Cape Fox was placed at an incredible disadvantage when it was forced to claim lands under ANCSA that offered little to no economic value to its village corporation. After decades of hard work, Cape Fox has finally overcome these obstacles and is now finally on track to complete its land entitlement. This is a testament to Cape Fox’s resilience, determination, and stewardship, and I congratulate them. I’m also grateful to my Senate colleagues for temporarily setting aside their differences on lands-related legislation to allow us to again pass this measure in the Senate, and to Senator Dan Sullivan and Congressman Nick Begich for their partnership in this effort. It is great to have this done and I look forward to the benefits it will provide in Southeast Alaska.

Today I pressed DOJ on proposed cuts to law enforcement and violence prevention grants, including programs that support rural police departments, Tribal justice efforts, and survivors of domestic violence. Alaska’s communities already face enormous challenges with distance, cost, and a limited work force. They cannot afford to lose access to these critical resources.
I also raised concerns about the removal of the Not Invisible Act Commission report from DOJ and Interior websites. I’m monitoring these items closely and pushing to ensure Alaska’s rural and Native communities remain a priority.

TODAY (May 19): If federal probate, land records, enrollment documents, or wills have been on your to-do list, this is a good opportunity to get them taken care of. ALSC will be on-site conducting will intakes. The event will also serve as a one-stop shop for Alaska Native Vietnam-era Allotment Applications, with BIA and BLM available to help navigate maps, and ALSC and Alaska Vital Records available to assist heirs.

This is one of the most significant achievements on the North Slope in decades and further cements the region’s renaissance. Pikka will help refill the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, create great jobs for Alaskans, and bring billions to the state over its lifespan—benefitting all who live here. This is also just the start, with new phases of the project yet to come and additional development taking place across the Nanushuk formation. I heartily congratulate Santos, Repsol, their hard-working teams, and individuals like Bill Armstrong who made this happen—from the vision to explore and discover, to now firmly putting Alaska back on the map as the place to produce energy.

This weekend, I was able to surprise displaced families from Kipnuk and Kwigillingok with some traditional subsistence foods—Canada goose eggs, as well as two types of gull eggs. Thank you to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for making it possible to share a taste of home with those who are missing it.

Happy Birthday, Head Start! For 61 years, Head Start has helped more than 40 million children and families nationwide reach their full potential in school and in life. This year alone, more than 3,000 children and 2,500 families are participating in one of Alaska’s 17 Head Start programs across the state. I’m proud to support Head Start and Early Head Start programs that give young Alaskans opportunities to learn, thrive, and succeed while helping build stronger communities.
Today, we celebrate 61 years of Head Start!
Since 1965, this program has helped millions of children and families build stronger futures. It supports early learning, strengthens communities, and creates opportunity across the country.
This milestone reflects the impact of generations of families, educators, and communities who have made Head Start what it is today.

The impacts of Typhoon Halong are a stark reminder that disaster doesn’t end when the storm passes. Months later, Alaska Native communities are still displaced and facing the trauma and uncertainty of what comes next.
That’s why, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, I hosted a two-part field hearing that included a roundtable in Anchorage and a hearing and Tribal leader listening session in Bethel. Direct input from Alaskans helps ensure communities receive the support and resources they need in the short term, while also helping us better prepare for future disasters.
