U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp introduced her first bill in the U.S. Senate today, a bill designed to seek improvements in the lives of Native American children. Heitkamp’s bipartisan bill would create a national Commission on Native American Children to conduct an intensive study into issues facing Native children – such as high rates of poverty, staggering unemployment, child abuse, domestic violence, crime, substance abuse, and few economic opportunities – and make recommendations on how to make sure Native children are better taken care of and given the opportunities to thrive. heitkamp.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=c8ec339b-5b63-4405-948d-9122bfa24870
