Daniel Akaka: “I very much appreciate that President Obama includes financial literacy in his platform to help working families.”

The month of November provides Native peoples opportunity to educate by sharing their history and culture with a larger audience.

Thank you, Chairman Brown. Thank you very much for holding this hearing today and for all of your work on consumer protection issues.

Financial literacy and consumer protection issues are very close to my heart.

That is why I have worked hard during my time in Congress to educate, protect, and empower consumers.
