President Obama signs order for Federal Agencies to do better for Indian Country
11/6/2009 8:58:58 PM

Obama to Indians: 'I'm on your side'

"... President Barack Obama issued an order Thursday instructing federal agencies to do a much better job of consulting with tribes on numerous policies affecting Indian Country.

The order, signed in front of a cheering throng of tribal leaders, was the highlight of a one-day summit Obama had pledged to hold during his presidential campaign last year.

The federal government is obligated under long-standing treaties to provide basic services to tribes, but Native Americans say the government rarely consults them about the way those services should be delivered. Obama's order directs every Cabinet agency to draw up a detailed plan to improve tribal consultation."

Myrna,

The following prayer is from:

Jesus Creed

Post is dated November 5, 2008

A Prayer for Obama

http://blog.beliefnet.com/jesuscreed/2008/11/a-prayer-for-obama.html

"Our prayer today, Our Father, is for President-Elect Barack Obama. [Please add your prayers as well.]
Our prayers include:

That You, the infinite font of wisdom, might grant him wisdom daily.

That You, the loving God of all, might grant him love for you and for others, including our enemies.

That You, the holy and righteous God of justice, might empower him to do what is right in all that he does.

That You, the Lord, might grant him the charisma of insight to lead in this turbulent world and time.

That You, the Healer, might grant him the grace of reconciling damaged relations in this country and in the world about us.

That You, the God of Life, might grant him a commitment to act for all -- the unborn and born, the young and old, the civilian and the soldier -- to preserve life and honor that each of us is fashioned in the image of God.

That You, the Father, might grant him the time and wisdom to father his two young daughters and love Michelle, his wife.

And that You, the God of all comfort, might grace him and his family as they mourn the loss of his grandmother.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen"

HI Jan,

Thanks for the prayer, but this is not the one I am talking about. It was the last prayer said, and he said a blessing to the white, black, yellow and red. It was just perfect. That is the prayer I would love to see again.

President Obama’s Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) initiative focuses on improving the lives of Native youth through new investments and increased engagement. This initiative takes a comprehensive, culturally appropriate approach to ensure all young Native people can reach their full potential. Gen-I promotes a national dialogue and policies and programs to mobilize and cultivate the next generation of Native leaders.
