Representative Steve Daines sent a press release this week in which he joined members of Montana’s Crow Tribe in presenting Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer with a formal resolution from the Tribe, supporting the State of Israel on a nation-to-nation basis.
Daines' release states that upon the Crow Tribe’s request, he reached out to the Israeli Embassy to coordinate a meeting between Israeli Ambassador Dermer and representatives from the Crow Tribe so that the resolution could be formally presented.
During today’s ceremony, Crow Tribe representatives noted that this resolution, which comes from one nation to another, recognizes similarities in Israel and the Crow Nation’s histories. The Crow Tribe raises the Israeli flag every day at Veteran’s Park in Crow Agency, Montana “as a monument to the official policy of the Crow Tribe.”
“I applaud the Crow Tribe for proactively affirming Israel’s right to exist and was honored to bring together representatives of the Tribe and Israel’s Ambassador to the United States to commemorate this act of friendship,” Daines said in the release.
“The Crow Tribe was honored to present our resolution in support of the State of Israel to Ambassador Ron Dermer and thanks Congressman Daines for his efforts in coordinating the ceremony,” stated Crow Nation leaders, including Chairman Old Coyote and his Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch. “Protecting the Crow Tribe’s sovereignty is of utmost importance and we support Israel’s efforts to defend its economic, political, and territorial integrity. I am hopeful that this resolution will signify the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship between the Crow Tribe and the State of Israel.”
