Excerpt from Challenges Confronting American Indian Youth, Vol. 2: Hearing Before the Committee on Indian Affairs United States Senate One Hundred Fourth Congress First Session Oversight Hearing on Challenges Confronting American Indian Youth The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:30 a.m. in room 485, Senate Russell Building, Hon. Daniel Inouye (vice chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Inouye, Kassebaum, and Simon. Statement Of Hon. Daniel K. Inouye, U. S. Senator From Hawaii, Vice Chairman, Committee On Indian Affairs Senator Inouye. The committee meets this morning to receive testimony from those Federal agencies that administer programs authorized to address challenges confronting American Indian youth. This morning´s hearing is a followup to an oversight hearing which was held by this committee 1 month ago on February 9. At that time, the committee received testimony from young Indian men and women representing reservation communities and urban areas across Indian country regarding the challenges facing them as Indian youth. The testimony of tribal youth was an important opportunity for the committee to hear from a new generation of Indian leaders. These young men and women identified critical challenges they face, including alcohol and substance abuse, sexual and child abuse, suicide, educational needs, employment needs, teenage pregnancy, environmental challenges, violence, and the infiltration of gangs in reservation and urban Indian communities, and cultural isolation in urban areas. The objective of this morning´s hearing is to identify how the U. S. Government might better address the needs of Indian youth in the development of Federal laws, Federal programs, and Federal policies. Before I call upon the witnesses, we have two panels, may I recognize my dear colleague from Illinois, Mr. Simon. Senator Simon. I thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have no great words of wisdom. I look forward to hearing what the panel has to say. I will have to get to a meeting of the Judiciary Committee also, so I won´t be able to be here for the full hearing. Senator Inouye. Then may I call upon the first panel, the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Ada Deer; and the Director of the Indian Health Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Michael Trujillo.
