++When President Obama was first elected, he promised to listen to the Indian tribes. He campaigned among them and even cultivated Indians to run for office. He finally settled the decades long Cobell Case over getting an accounting of the oil revenues owed the nations. He recognized more nations than before. Interestingly enough the remaining Indian tribes are in Virginia and had signed treaties with England that has delayed their recognition.
++Over 450 nations attended today's conference and the head of the Comanche nation said that President Obama had done more for the Indians than any other President. The list of initiatives cited in the proclamation was impressive and constitute one of legacies.
