I am pleased with the reforms that are underway now.
Overall, these policies of assimilation failed to meet the Federal trust responsibility to Native peoples.
I would like to reiterate this Administration's commitment to the government-to-government relationship with tribes.
We look forward to continuing to help in our own ways to keep our country great and our people just.
