On Thursday, President Obama will host what is being billed as the First Annual Tribal Nations Conference at the Department of the Interior, to which 564 tribes are invited to send representatives. The President and senior Administration officials will address the gathering, where issues to be discussed include economic development and natural resources; public safety and housing; and education, health and labor.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.care2.com/causes/human-rights/blog/better-centuries-late-than-never-the-newest-embassy-in-washington-is-native-american/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.care2.com/img/5CDDD111-7EFA-4A6D-AD8E-54B9476BD29A" alt="Better Centuries Late than Never?
