Year | Addressed | Assembly | Country | Severely |
In the year since we first addressed this Assembly, our country has been severely challenged, both by man and by nature. I am proud to say that our 11 Indian tribes in Wisconsin joined people of Wisconsin's cities, towns and villages, responding swiftly, courageously and generously - giving what they had, to help our relatives during their adversity.

In the Midwestern states, including Wisconsin, approximately 38 percent of the need on our reservations is being funded, compared to a national average of close to 60 percent in other regions. Wisconsin is not receiving its fair share. We ask the Wisconsin leadership to help us carry the message to Congress to reauthorize and adequately fund the Indian Health Care Improvement Act.
