President Barack Obama says he is determined to reverse the U.S. government's history of marginalizing Native American nations. During an all-day conference (Thursday/November 5) in Washington with tribal leaders and government officials, the president said Indian nations will not be forgotten as long as he is in the White House. Deborah Block has a report.

  • Oh Obama you and your speech writers just like to lie through your teeth to everyone... Well you'll be voted out and maybe we can get a total overhaul of all branches of Government...cause lets be real on this its not just the executive branch its the legislative and judicial branches as well, how sad... hopefully someone will get the system working again get the gov outa the way and help Native American nations by getting better infrastructure and a better way to compete with surrounding cities

  • sorry...just noticed that I misspelled some words below

  • "(...) so that you can be full partners in the American economy and so your children and grandchildren can haven an equal shot in pursuing the American dream (...)"

    ...it really irritates me that the government is taking this from a purely economical type of view as it seems. Sure, everyone wants to improve his/her economical situation. But what about real support for funding for languages/cultural autonomy? What about officially supported cultural integrity and autonomy for Native Americans?

  • has obama kept his promises to the native american indians? I'm not indians so i do not know, but if someone could tell me if he did that would be good, thanks. INDIANS ARE AWESOME!
