Tribal leaders give Obama high marks for Native American relations

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama told tribal leaders Monday that they and his administration had come far since he took office eight years ago, but that there is still work to be done to solve problems in Indian Country.

“We haven’t solved every issue, we haven’t righted every wrong,” Obama told the hundreds gathered for the 2016 White House Tribal Nations Conference. “But together we’ve made significant progress in almost every area.”

Obama promised to keep working with tribes even after he leaves office – while tribal officials said they will look closely to see if the next president continues what they consider to be a productive relationship that has developed with Washington under this administration.
