Obama promises new era of federal-tribal relations
Posted on Friday, July 20 @ 21:33:09 CDT by Mvskoke_Lady
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), a Democratic candidate for president,
plans to meet with tribal leaders in the coming months to discuss his
federal Indian policy.
In a letter sent to tribal leaders, Obama says the federal government
has neglected its responsibilities to Indian Country. "Past
administrations have talked about government-to-government
relationships and tribal consultation, but they have rarely followed
through," he said. http://www.indianz.com/docs/obama072007.pdf
