Love the Internet. I can not say I ever heard a candidate address Native American issues before this second. In my heart I know Senator Obama has the best interests of all citizens in mind, not just the rich and corrupt as things have been in the past.

I was just elected the caucus alternate for Obama for my precinct in Nevada. As far as I know, Obama is the only candidate that has addressed Native issues in his campaign for President and will fight for minorities and see that their voice is heard on a national level.

I sure hope Obama sticks to what he said in this video. The native people deserve to be recognize, treated with respect, and given what they were promised.

I love this man for asking this question.

It's about time America acknowledges Native American issues!

Obama had my vote before he made clear his feeling on the subject of Native Amerians. I know that this may very will back firer. I am forever grateful for Obama not turning his back on the first American's. I pray U.S citizen can except that Native American's have right's that have never been honored. I know most feel they should be exterminated.

Thank you for coming forward. I pray this not cost you the election.

Thank you for being open and honest on a subjet that is far from popular.

Maybe, just maybe we can stop spending a billion a week in Iraq and spend it here in out own country!

I do hope he will be one to make congress recognize the treaties with the Native American tribes in this country. They all deserve their pride and dignity. Working a positive light of change inside the country will reflect greatly on the benifits of relating to the rest of the world. All people are equall and have human rights in the US and outside the country. Barack has a genuine tone to how he feels about what is humane.

It would be very nice to see the treaties recognized. More aid to the Native communities for more health and healing programs. It would be very nice Mr Obama.

The man is right on this issue and it is time a President respects History and those people affected by it. It is unfortunate by some of the comments posted that people are still ignorant of our Great History! It is a shame that people still do not obviously know their Identity besides the History to this Great Country. Barack can accomplish these things not through taxes but through money from the resources of the land. Wake Up America!
