CROW AGENCY Mont.
Pledging to usher in a new era of honest federal dealings with Indian tribes, Democratic presidential front-runner on Monday made an unprecedented stop in Montana Indian country for a rally at the Crow reservation.
Obama Obama told several thousand American Indian supporters that he would honor long-ignored treaty obligations and revamp health care and education on reservations across the United States. Such services have long suffered due to inadequate funding and the much criticized oversight of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
“Few have been ignored by Washington for as long as Native Americans, the first Americans,” Obama Obama said. “That will change when I am president of the United States.”
