Skeg Tas everyone! I would love to share with you 2 important events that I attended this week!
On January 12, I was invited to be a house floor guest for the Arizona 57th Legislature, Second Regular Session Opening Day. It was an honor to be invited by District 8 AZ State Representative Brian Garcia, who is a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. I felt very blessed to be able to sit on the House floor and have the opportunity to be recognized during the session meeting. After the session adjourned I was able to stay for AZ Governor Katie Hobbs State of the State Address.
On January 14, the Miss Indian Arizona court attended Indian Nations & Tribes Legislative Day, where I was asked to provide the Pledge of Allegiance. This day is so important as it gives an opportunity for tribal leaders to discuss and highlight issues that affect our communities. It was inspiring to hear the words of several tribal leaders and their plans and hopes for the future.
I want to thank and the organizers of Indian Nations & Tribes Legislative Day for inviting me and allowing me to be apart of such important events for our tribal governments. I had such a fun time meeting other state representatives as well as tribal leaders from the 22 federally recognized Arizona tribes. Sapo!
