WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama discusses Native American issues Thursday with representatives of the 564 federally recognized tribes. In the morning, Obama will deliver opening remarks and participate in an interactive discussion with tribal leaders at the White House Tribal Nations Conference at the Interior Department. He'll also deliver closing remarks in the afternoon. Obama committed during his election campaign to meet regularly with tribal leaders, to hear directly from them about how his administration can meet their needs and help make their lives better.
After a series of meetings with the vice president, Cabinet members, advisers and lawmakers, the president welcomes President Ian Khama of Botswana to the White House.
