                  HIGHLIGHTING THE HALIWA-SAPONI TRIBE

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to highlight the 
Haliwa-Saponi Tribe. The Tribe has over 4,000 members living in the 
First Congressional District of North Carolina.
  The Tribe, led by their fearless Chief Richardson, welcomed people 
near and far as they celebrated 58 years of State recognition.
  Mr. Speaker, I had the honor of attending the Haliwa-Saponi Pow-Wow 
in Hollister, one of the largest pow-wows in the State. The Pow-Wow, 
the first in 3 years because of COVID, celebrates a rich history and 
strong cultural heritage filled with traditions passed down from 
generation to generation.
  Mr. Speaker, I am thrilled to announce that I will soon introduce 
legislation calling for their Federal recognition.
