  1. Mr. Thayer is a talented speaker. He eloquently addressed the serious issues Tribes face in Wisconsin in a balanced, emotionally powerful manner. I wish all the success to our Native peoples of Wisconsin and a great future for solving our shared problems, especially slowing the degradation of our environment for little gain.
