Harriet Hageman: “We must do a better job of providing health care to our tribal members in this country”

They're very backwards people. I kind of look at them like flat-Earthers. They're very backwards people in the way that they approach things.

I am, in fact, optimistic that those festivities we’ve already enjoyed are currently inspiring a new sense of purpose in our national identity.

In Gallup’s 25-year patriotism survey, just 17 percent, or less than 1 in 5 American adults, reported that they were ‘very proud’ of being an American.

I hope that by focusing on America’s 250th anniversary – and looking back over that history with honesty and accuracy — we will reverse these declines.
