Reply #12: Dennis would offer an official apology!!!!

[Desertrose]

My administration will offer all First Nations an official apology for the past injustices of the United States of America toward native peoples. We cannot work together now and in the future until we reconcile the past. This healing needs to take place.

As President, Dennis Kucinich will re-affirm the U. S. commitment to honor its treaties with tribal governments, to maintain strict adherence to tribal sovereignty, to increase funding for tribal programs, especially health care, housing, environmental protection and education. This Presidency will enforce existing laws and enact necessary laws for the following:

* Protection of tribal cultural practices through environmental protection and natural resources conservation funding and tribal consultation

* Protection of Sacred Sites through federal policies and legislation as required

*Protection of historical sites and grave sites through strengthening the Native American Graves Protection Act and greater consultation with tribes.

* Protection of the Alaska Natives, and Indigenous Peoples everywhere from persistent organic pollutants and the effects of global warming through reduced emissions of hydrocarbons, adherence to the Kyoto Protocols, and an aggressive energy strategy that maximizes our country's development of renewable energy sources, energy-efficient automobiles, and conservation.
