Reid: Achieving Lasting Prosperity In America Must Include Native Americans

01/29/2010

 

Washington, D.C. –Nevada Senator Harry Reid today released the following statement on President Jefferson Keel’s State of Indian Nations Address to the National Congress of American Indians:

Let’s Make Indian Country Count

01/25/2010

By NCAI President Jefferson Keel

 

On Jan. 25, the 2010 Census kicks off in the Inupiat Eskimo village of Noorvik, Alaska.

 

No roads lead to this community, so Census workers will arrive by air, snow machine or dog sled – and they will need to get there early before the ice melts and the residents leave for fishing and hunting season.

 

It is important to recognize the significance of Noorvik as the first place the census count begins. Our community of American Indians and Alaska Natives is one of the nation’s hardest populations to count, because of language barriers, barriers to travel and transportation to remote and rural communities, and a historic mistrust of government institutions and efforts. [more]

Statement by President Obama on the Settlement of Cobell Class-Action Lawsuit on Indian Trust Management

12/08/2009

“Today, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Attorney General Eric Holder announced that, at long last, a settlement has been reached in the Cobell class-action lawsuit.  This suit was originally filed in 1996 over the United States government's trust management and accounting of hundreds of thousands of individual American Indian trust accounts.  With this announcement, we take an important step towards a sincere reconciliation between the trust beneficiaries and the federal government and lay the foundation for more effective management of Indian trust assets in the future.
