This Country made treaties with the Indian Tribes, just as we did with a diversity of foreign nations.
I will miss all of this and the friendships and the work here, but I know you will carry it on.
Overall, these policies of assimilation failed to meet the Federal trust responsibility to Native peoples.
I am pleased with the reforms that are underway now.
