<title>Chief Ransom Goes to Washington</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/228/20010212/chief-ransom-goes-to-washington</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 12, 2001) We&apos;ve been hearing a lot in the news about changes in our federal government that accompany the transfer of power from one president&apos;s administration to another.  How Janet Reno enforced the law, for example, under President Clinton will be very different from John Ashcroft&apos;s approach as Attorney General.  Such is the situation for all of the federal agencies.  Each year, a coalition of 24 native tribes, called the United South and Eastern Tribes, convene in Washington, DC to craft an agenda for native issues for the year.  It&apos;s called Impact Week, and with a new administration bringing a different approach to issues ranging from native land claims to environmental protection, this year&apos;s meeting was especially important.  Akwesasne Chief Alma Ransom was a part of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe&apos;s Impact Week delegation.  She recently returned from Washington and spoke with David Sommerstein about Impact Week.
