President Obama Letter at White House Tribal Conference

Our Nation is at a defining moment. We face challenges unlike any in our lifetime, both at home and abroad. My Administration is working day in and day out to meet them -- to rebuild our economy, strengthen our security, and ensure that our children have every opportunity to fulfill their dreams. But moving this country forward will require more than any government can do alone. It will require every American and every community to get involved. That is why strengthening and building on the nation-to-nation relationship between the United States and tribal nations is so important.

 

While no one meeting by itself can reverse past neglect or erase longstanding frustrations, I do believe that constructive dialogue can open the door to a new era in that special Federal-tribal relationship. My goal today is to encourage open discussion between tribal leadership and my Administration. I hope that you'll speak candidly about the challenges you face and offer your suggestions for addressing these challenges. And key members of my Administration will listen to what you have to say.

 

But this Tribal Nations Conference represents more than just a high level "listening session." It signifies the beginning of a lasting and critical conversation as we forge a better future together for this Nation generally and Indian Country specifically. The challenges we face in the 21st century are ones we will only meet and overcome through continuing consultation and collaboration.

 

Today, at this conference, I will sign a memorandum instructing the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in coordination with the Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, to submit to me recommendations for further improving tribal participating in Federal policy decisions that affect Indian tribes. This memorandum has been shaped by the feedback given to my advisors over the past several months at a variety of "listening sessions" around the country, and it reflects my commitment to the Federal Government's trust relationship with tribal nations."

 

Thank you for coming together at this vitally important event. I look forward to joining you today and to a long, productive relationship over the years ahead.

 

Sincerely,

 

President Barack Obama

(Chippewa Cree)

The Seal of The Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy’s Reservation 

The Chippewa and Cree have come from two powerful nations of the American Continent. Each Tribe has come together to form the present day Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation. This reservation was created for the Chippewa and Cree to live and enjoy this country, to maintain our language, culture, traditions and values. Also, to accept the modern qualities that would prosper the Tribe in the future. 

The picture of this seal represents the circle of life on this reservation. Baldy Butte, the sacred mountain of the Tribe: the Sun, representing life rising from the east, to greet the Sun Spirit each morning from our homes and to wish for good health and life. 

Also, the Sun’s rays represent the fifteen Sacred Grass Dance Chiefs who are active in preserving the culture of the Chippewa Cree Tribe. The Sun also represents the Sacred Grass Dance Drum of the Tribe. 

The Sacred Four Bodies writing under the Sun represents good health and good fortune for the Tribe, that we can prosper into the future in education, as well as our customs and traditions integrated into the schools of Rocky Boy. 

The Eagle, long time sacred bird of the Indian people, strength, wisdom, bravery, and honor, are all elements conceived from the sacred bird that represents the thunder and lightening of the sacred sky. 

The Buffalo, a source of food and shelter for the Indian for many years, also a sacred animal in the universe representing the source of life, a Sundance element, being the main power of its presence. 

Bear Paw tracks, these tracks represent the Bear Paw Mountains where the Chippewa Cree now make their present home. Also, the sacred animal, “The Bear”, who is highly regarded as a powerful spirit of the Tribe. 

The Teepee, where all values and customs are derived from, the life, and traditions, that we, as the Chippewa Cree have held since the creation of the Red Man. 

The Sacred Pipes, held by our last official chiefs of the Chippewa and Cree, Chief Rocky Boy and Chief Little Bear. 

The Braid of Sweet grass, which is an element of communication to the Creator and the Spirits. 

Eagle feathers, the nine eagle feathers representing the nine elected Chiefs of the Chippewa Cree Business Committee. 

In conclusion, these elements of the Great Seal are formed together to represent the Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy’s Reservation of Montana, in values, traditions, and customs, so greatly valued by the Chippewa Cree People.
