NYT: First Lady Michelle Obama continued her getting-to-know Washington tour on Monday with a visit to the Department of the Interior where she announced that President Obama would soon appoint a White House policy adviser dedicated to tribal issues such as sovereignty, health care and education.
Mrs. Obama said the new policy adviser – whose name is expected be announced in a few weeks — would focus on “the well-being of Native American families and the prosperity of tribes all across this country.”
“For those of you focused on meeting the federal governments obligations to the Native Americans, understand that you have a wonderful partner in the White House right now,” she said.
