White House Release on 2011 Tribal Nations Conference

Dear Friend:

As a reminder, today, President Obama is hosting the 2011 White House Tribal Nations Conference at the Department of the Interior.  As part of President Obama’s ongoing outreach to the American people, this conference provides leaders from the 565 federally recognized tribes the opportunity to interact directly with the President and representatives from his Administration.  This will be the third White House Tribal Nations Conference the Obama Administration has hosted and continues to build upon the President’s commitment to strengthen the government-to-government relationship with Indian Country.

The Opening Session from 8:30am to 9:30am EST and the Closing Session from 1:00pm to 3:00pm EST will be available live online at www.whitehouse.gov/live  President Obama will speak during the Closing Session.

Sincerely,

Charlie Galbraith

The White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs
