WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs held a legislative hearing last week on six bills focused on various solutions related to Indian Country health care, land ownership, and hunting and fishing rights. Subcommittee Chair Harriet Hageman (R-WY) released the following statement in response:
Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted to overturn the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (A.T.F.) rule classifying all firearms with barrels under 16-inches and an attached stabilizing, or “pistol” brace as short-barreled rifles (S.B.R.).

The Republican Wyoming Congressional delegation -- Sen. John Barrasso, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, Rep. Harriett Hageman -- denounced the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
They called it political persecution on the part of the U.S. Department of Justice that has ignored similar issues, especially because similar charges could be levied against President Joe Biden who has had classified documents found at his residence.
The indictment was unsealed earlier today.
DENVER — U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, ripped movie and TV star Kevin Costner during her speech at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver on Friday, saying the star of the hit show “Yellowstone” should stay in his lane politically.

Costner endorsed Hageman’s Republican opponent during the 2022 campaign, former congresswoman Liz Cheney.
EXCLUSIVE - A bipartisan group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill are introducing a bill that would curb the expanded powers the White House is granted under the National Emergencies Act and give more of it to Congress.

On the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, which straddles the border between North and South Dakota, people line up at 6 a.m. in the freezing winter, hoping to get one of just four dental appointments.
“If you don’t get those four, you’re out, you don’t get it,” said Janet Alkire, chairwoman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, who described the scene at an April hearing of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs.
And the lack of adequate medical care extends well beyond dental care, she told lawmakers.
The U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources launched a bipartisan Indo-Pacific Task Force including delegates from Guam, CNMI, and American Samoa to examine the region's issues.
