On Sept. 26, the White House brought together leaders from federally recognized Indian tribes to Washington, D.C., for the 8th Annual White House Tribal Nations Conference.

The Tribal Nations Conference delivers on a promise the President made during a visit to the Crow Nation in Montana in May 2008, where he pledged to host an annual summit with tribal leaders to ensure that tribal nations have a seat at the table when facing important decisions about their communities. This year’s Conference marks the historic progress his Administration has made to strengthen the nation-to-nation relationship and build a more prosperous and resilient Indian Country.

Today the White House shared highlights of the progress made in 2016 and announced new steps forward. Read more in this fact sheet on the 8th Annual White House Tribal Nations Conference.
