In Montana, Barack Obama made a speech to the Crow Nation, proposing a renewed recognition of the government-to-government relationship between tribes and the federal government. He also proposes increased funding for tribal colleges and Indian health care. To oversee this support, he proposes a full cabinet post for Indian Affairs, a step far beyond the BIA, which he calls a "bureaucracy that doesn't know anything about what's going on in the day to day lives of people."
