Tribes say stronger self-governance key to future success

WASHINGTON (AP) - Tribes want the federal government to work with them to strengthen and modernize their ability to self-govern, saying the best solutions for Native American life comes from the tribes themselves, the president of the National Congress of American Indians said Thursday.

"At every level of government, more and more leaders are seeing that the path to a brighter future for America runs through Indian Country," said Brian Cladoosby in his 2016 State of the Indian Nations address. "Imagine how much further we will go, as the next class of American legislators and policymakers further strengthen tribal self-determination."
