WASHINGTON – It was a historic day as tribal leaders representing a majority of the 564 federally recognized tribes in the United States converged on Washington, D.C. for the White House Tribal Nations Conference with President Barack Obama Nov. 5 as part of his outreach efforts to the first American people.
A Navajo delegation attended the meeting, a meeting that marked the largest and most attended gathering of tribal leaders in the history of the United States.
The Honorable Speaker Lawrence T. Morgan led a Navajo delegation that included Council Delegates Hope MacDonald LoneTree, Coalmine Canyon/Toh Nanees Dizi; and Lawrence R. Platero, Tohajilee. Navajo Vice President Ben Shelly was also in attendance.
The conference provided tribal leaders the opportunity to directly interact and voice their concerns with President Obama and high ranking representatives in his administration.
Morgan was thankful for the opportunity to be invited to the meeting.
“It is an honor to unite here with President Obama for this gathering to discuss pressing issues Indian country is facing today. This is truly a history-making event, I am glad to be part of it and I am humbled to be here representing the great Navajo Nation.”
