Obama policy prioritizes First Nations' languages

[phil cash cash]

Thanks Donna,
It does seem unprecedented and I hope it turns into real action and change if
Obama becomes the next Pres.

Quoting "Donna A. Williams" :

> Barak Obama's Youtube message to First Americans includes this 
> committment: "I
> will make native language preservation a priority" in the context of  a
> "nation-to-nation" relationship between the US government and the tribal
> communities and governments of America. A tribal nations advisor will sit  on
> the cabinet; there will be an annual White House summit of tribal  nations
> leaders. --I believe this is unprecedented.
