WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will address Native American leaders Dec. 2 as they gather for a White House sponsored tribal nations conference at the Interior Department.
It will be Obama's third conference with American Indians. Obama first met with tribal leaders in November of 2009.

More pandering. What does he promise to give away this time.
glad he has solved every other problem
Will Chief Sitting Slot Machine and Chief Wild Card be attending, or is Chief Tax Free Smokes going in their place.
He probably just wants to apologize for the white man stealing their land.
Another ‘voter block’. As I am of Cherokee heritage.....this makes me want to puke.
We have statistics about the Black, White, Hispanic and Asian vote ... what about the Native American vote? How do they generally vote?
I’m a native American. I was born in the US.
They will probably just sit around the campfire and smoke the ole peacepipe like Obama did in college....then Obama will sign a treaty giving them back the States of Oklahoma, Nevada, and Florida.
After these “leaders” get through kissing his feet, they may want to mention the damage being done on the reservations by the illegals with their drugs.
I wonder if he’s learned that Ute isn’t pronounced Ooo-Tay.
“Obama to hold third Native American conference”
What’s the point? I know a ton of Indians in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Anishinabe hate his guts. The only “Indians” who like obuma are stupid wanna-be white hippies who cruise the pow-wows looking for free fried bread and an “Indian” name from the midewiwin.
The only reason obuma isn’t wearing an Arrow shirt is because he doesn’t get out enough into Indian territory.
It varies from tribe to tribe. Urban Indians are mostly radical Rats, but a lot of the rural Indians, like those in Oklahoma, are Conservative.
I once spent some time on the San Carlos Apache reservation in Arizona. They were some of the most patriotic people I have ever met, with American flags in all their homes. Interestingly, a lot of them also had photographs of George W. Bush hanging on their walls.
He is everything to everyone. He could take a dump on the stage and it would be hailed as a ‘tribal breakthrough’.
Wasn’t that the group he gave a shout out to before briefly acknowledging the shooting at the militaty base?
Thanks for your informative response. Never hear about the Native American voting preference. Are they such a small minority that their vote means little in the larger scheme of things?
If this is his third American Indian conference, how come I don’t remember the first two?
I also remember President Bush 43 being the first president to honor WWII Navajo code talkers.
Sure. But then what would you like people of indigenous origins call themselves? I take it you don’t fall into this group, and because I think you’re probably a smart person, stay with the topic. Please.
