Rep.
Rep. Romero sees no opposition to the bill, especially after the committee heard from Corrina Bow, chairwoman for the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah on Monday afternoon. Bow talked about how important it is that children from Utah’s eight sovereign tribal nations be able to celebrate their cultural identities at their educational milestones.
Bow said that Indigenous students are the least likely to graduate from high school of any racial population in the U.S. Some of those states include California, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington, Bow said.
