Thank you Mr President. You righted another wrong.
Obama Administration Announces Settlement with Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations
This summer, President Obama visited the Choctaw Nation during his trip to Oklahoma. It was the second of his four visits to Native American tribes during his tenure as President.
Today, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel was back for a major announcement.
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell today announced the settlement of The Chickasaw Nation and The Choctaw Nation v. The Department of the Interior, a lawsuit filed by the nations regarding the U.S. government's accounting and management of funds and natural resources that it holds in trust for these communities. The $186 million agreement resolves a long-standing dispute, with some of the claims dating back more than 100 years, and brings an end to protracted, vigorously contested and expensive litigation that has burdened both nations and the United States for a decade...

As I have noted previously, this settlement is part of a pattern the Obama administration has been working on for years now.
The Departments of Justice, Interior, and Treasury have been diligently engaged in settlement conversations with more than 100 litigating tribes. On April 11, 2012, the United States announced settlements with 41 tribes for at least $1 billion. Since that time, the federal government has focused considerable, dedicated effort on the remaining tribal trust accounting and trust mismanagement cases. Including the settlement with the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations, this Administration has resolved, since October 1, 2010, breach of trust claims with a total of 86 tribes and combined value of about $2.8 billion.
It's also important to remember that both the Chickasaw and Choctaw Tribes were re-located to Oklahoma in the 1830's as part of the Trail of Tears. President Obama is not just using diplomacy to deal with our country's history of foreign disasters. There is healing required right here at home as well.

So many people love him for who he is and what he's done for our Native Americans and everyone else in the vast country of ours.
Those who ignorantly rail against him for political purposes are on the wrong side of history.
Thank you for the great news, she!
He has brought so much healing to our Nation, for so little credit Cha.
His legacy grows and you are right, so many are on the wrong side of history.
