"First of all, the first thing we have to acknowledge is the tragic history of a lot of the relationships between the United States of America and Tribal Nations," Obama said in Elko. "We [the U.S. government] have not always abided by treaties, we have not always been honest and truthful in our dealings and that's something ... we have to acknowledge."
This has been the loudest and clearest admission from a front-running presidential candidate recognizing our victimization and the rape of our homeland. Then Obama expounded on our shared belief in a better tomorrow:
"If we are going to be fair and honest about moving forward, the second thing we have to do is make sure that we are not just having a Bureau of Indian Affairs, but that our dealings with the various Native American tribes, we've got to have a President of the United States who is willing to meet, on an annual basis, with the [tribal] leadership and ensuring that there [are] relationships of dignity and respect. ... We have to make sure that there are adequate resources to deal with the extraordinary difficulties that exist among Native American peoples on every indicator: health care, life expectancy, substance abuse, you name it, Native Americans are at the bottom, and that's not just an embarrassment for the U.S. Government, that's an embarrassment for all of us.
"We should want all the people in the United States of America and all children to succeed and have basic health care and education and that's what I will be fighting for as President of the United States of America."
