The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act was first enacted in 1990, then amended in 2000, and is set to expire in July of this year.\u00a0<\/p>\nGrand Canyon Protection Act discussed at the Senate Public Lands, Forests, & Mining Subcommittee Hearing<\/h5>\nThe bill, introduced by Senator Sinema and Senator Mark Kelly, would permanently withdraw from development more than one million acres of federal land near the Grand Canyon. It will also require a study that will assess the availability of domestically sourced uranium for national security purposes. Overall, this bill prioritizes the protection of Arizona\u2019s water supply, outdoor recreation and tourism industries, and tribal communities.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Public Lands, Forests, and Mining Subcommittee is now considering the legislation. Senator Sinema worked alongside the Havasupai Tribe, Grand Canyon Trust, and local stakeholders to develop this organization.\u00a0<\/p>\nSenator Sinema\u2019s full statement stating the importance of her bill can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\nTribal leaders invited to consultation with the Department of Homeland Security<\/p>\n\u00a0A virtual consultation is being held to discuss the implementation of Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments<\/a> of November 6, 2000; and Executive Order 14053, Improving Public Safety and Criminal Justice for Native Americans and Addressing the Crisis of Missing or Murdered Indigenous People of November 15, 2021.<\/p>\nTribal leaders are being invited to attend in order to provide input and recommendations.

The Biden-Harris Administration has launched an effort to end hunger by 2030 and to increase healthy eating and physical activity so that fewer Americans get chronic diseases \u2014 like heart disease and diabetes.

The goal is to help end hunger, improve nutrition and physical activity, and eliminate disparities.<\/p>\nFraming Paper. In advance of the Tribal Consultation, federal officials will share a Framing Paper that incorporates the concerns, challenges, and recommendations we have already heard from Indian Country to date related to indigenous nutrition, foodways, and food insecurity and discuss how we can build off your previous comments to do the following:<\/p>\n <\/p>\nImprove food access and affordability: End hunger by making it easier for everyone \u2014 including urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities \u2014 to access and afford food. For example, expand eligibility for and increase participation in food assistance programs and improve transportation to places where food is available.<\/li>\n <\/p>\nIntegrate nutrition and health: Prioritize the role of nutrition and food security in overall health, including disease prevention and management, and ensure our health care system addresses the nutrition-related needs of all people.<\/li>\n <\/p>\nEmpower all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices: Foster environments that enable all people to easily make informed healthy choices \u00be increase access to healthy food, encourage healthy workplace and school policies, and invest in public messaging and education campaigns that are culturally appropriate and resonate with specific communities.<\/li>\n <\/p>\nSupport physical activity for all: Make it easier for people to be more physically active \u00be in part by ensuring everyone has access to safe places to get active \u00be increase awareness of the benefits of physical activity, and conduct research on and measure physical activity.<\/li>\n <\/p>\nEnhance nutrition and food security research: Improve nutrition metrics, data collection, and research to inform nutrition and food security policy, particularly on issues of equity, access, and disparities.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\nWe look forward to your feedback on the important next steps that we can take achieve the five pillars listed above.
