(Secretary Barnes in his office)

Welcome to the Department of Internal Affairs! This post contains a directory of all business taken by myself or the Department.  Please use it at your convenience to navigate the DoIA.

This Department tends to be considered a junior player in the government.  Under my leadership, however, the DoIA will be an active and dynamic force within the Bore Administration. There are many projects and plans before us, and I look forward to tackling them.

If you would like to contact me or the Department feel free to post your query or comment in this office, or alternatively, send me a PM.

Best wishes,
Barnes
Secretary of Internal Affairs

Transcript of Secretary Barnes's Remarks at the Navajo Nation Concerning Indian Affairs
Wednesday, April 8, 2015

()
(The Secretary working on his notes before his speech)

"Yá'át'ééh!  E la na tte?  I am absolutely honored to be among friends on this beautiful day.  I would like to start by paying my thanks to President Ben Shilley for hosting me here today and for his years of work and dedication to the Navajo Nation. 

"The affairs and future of Indian Country has been something that has dominated my interest for a long time.  Unfortunately, there is a general lack of conversation about your rights, concerns, and aspirations in our political system.  I want to put that right!  I want to bring the conversation out of the shadows!

"The history of Atlasian and Indian relations is long and very difficult for most of us.  We all must acknowledge the failures of the past if we are to hope to change the future.  Throughout reservations and communites throughout Atlasia, unemployment, especially among youths, is far too high.  Problems with alcohol addiction and drug abuse continue to blacken many lives.  There is a feeling that shared language, culture, and identity, are slipping away.  Perhaps worst of all, there is a pervading sense that these issues will never be improved; that they will never be addressed by the government.

"I want to tell you that from today that sense of abandonment is over.  The Bore Administration is dedicated to working with you to create a future that is bright and fair for all.  Every day that I hold this office I will continue to push for these goals.  I pledge that to you today.

"Now, the history and character of our tribes and people are long, complex, and diverse.  A one-size-fits-all approach simply will not adequately address the variety of issues that face us.  If we are going to make an effort on this, it must be a concerted and dedicated one that can truly be successful -- we cannot afford to fail.  Therefore, we will consult with leaders and representatives from every tribe and reservation as well as canvass the true feelings of the community.  Every action that we take must actually be shown to be beneficial to the community -- that is our purpose.

"As I said, the issues that we face are deep and complex, so we must start work immediately.  I will propose legislation to the Senate in the coming days to create a commission under my authority to record and preserve native languages, histories, arts, and customs, deemed to be in danger of extinction.  Without a history, who are we as a people?

"I will begin work on a jobs program focused specifically to reservations.  Where I can act alone, I will.  Where I need legislation, I will go to the Senate.

"I will not conceal from you that this will be a long and hard road, but it is one that must be traveled because the rewards are truly great.  I know this is something that can be done if there is a real sense of purpose and dedication among the community.  You must be the instigators of that hope.  By organizing, protesting, contacting your government officials, you will make your voices heard, and we can accomplish these goals for the betterment of us all.

"Thank you! Ahéhee'!"

Dear Sir/Madam,

You have been sentenced by the Confederate Council, temporarily acting as the supreme judicial body of the land, to die by nitrogen asphyxiation, which while untested, it utterly painless and, therefore, immunised for lawsuits.

Please be kind to report for the execution within the period of three days. We will be providing complementary pen and coffee.

Most sincerely,

The Secretary reaffirms his and the Administration's resolve in neutralizing the threat posed by these rebels throughout the nation.  No form of intimidation will prevent the government from protecting the Atlasian people and protecting the tenets of a civil society formed by democratic government.

Hello again everyone. I will be returning home tomorrow and coming back to the game full-time. I'll have to catch up on what's been going on around here.

Along with the rest of the administration, I am committed to the rights of labor and their causes.  I am looking forward to meeting with the strike representatives to reach a settlement that is beneficial to all parties.

After a brief lull in activity, the Department of Internal Affairs will be unveiling its Indian Affairs legislation to the Senate some time next week.  The proposed laws will seek to address the cultural and health-related crises that are prevalent on Indian reservations throughout the country.

As SoIA, I look forward to working productively with the senate on this matter.

Apologies again for the low activity, I've had exams so I've been unable to put anything solid in here.

I wanted to say that the Department of Internal Affairs is fully monitoring the situation in the Pacific, and will offer all aid and advice to Justice Ebowed in his efforts to take charge of the region after the failures of the regional government. We will be prepared to take any action necessary to ensure that basic functions such as democracy, governance and services can be provided

We are keeping in full contact with the events transpiring in the Pacific, as the Deputy Secretary stated.  Considering their fast moving and complex nature, it was not possible to provide constant updates in this office. I am, at present, seeking to work with all constitutional officials and any other citizens of the Pacific interested in returning the region to a fully functioning and effective state of affairs.

What does "constitutional officials" mean? Are you and your deputy saying the same thing?

I speak for my department and I echo the opinion of the situation expressed by President Bore.

I have written to President bore informing him of my intention to retire at the end of this present term.

I do not wish to leave the game altogether, but I would like to take a break from office.  I will have more to say on this in the near future.

Until then, I will be assisting with the GM Department until we have a new officeholder there.

Barnes, I've have a grand time working with you, first as Deputy GM and then as the SoIA. This is truly a loss for the administration to see you retire.

Okay, so that I don't get impeached for it I'm moving from the old department (this thread) to my New Office, I've announced my plans for office there and it seems more suitable to post from there
