Statement on the Passing of Former President Jimmy Carter

by sbegay

The Southern Ute Indian Tribe extends its deepest condolences to the Carter family during this difficult time. President Carter’s life was a testament to remarkable service, leadership, and unwavering advocacy. His legacy will forever be intertwined with the lives of countless individuals, including those within our Tribal community. President Carter’s commitment to justice and equality is evident in the landmark legislation he signed: The American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA) recognized the inherent right of Native Americans to practice their traditional religions, including the use of sacred sites and ceremonial objects. The Tribal Controlled Community College Assistance Act empowered Tribal Nations to establish and operate their own higher education institutions, fostering self-determination and cultural preservation. The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) strengthened Tribal sovereignty and ensured the well-being of Native American children by prioritizing their placement with family members or within their Tribal communities. These acts represent a significant step forward in recognizing and upholding the rights and sovereignty of Tribal Nations. The flags on Tribal campus will be lowered until his funeral services on Thursday, January 9, 2025.
