Hundreds of tribal leaders from America’s Indian nations are in Washington this week as President Obama hosts a White House conference on Native American issues. It's the highest-level meeting for tribal nations since the early 1990s. Leaders are also celebrating the opening of the first ever Embassy of Tribal Nations in DC. Tribal delegates also met with Department of Education officials today to discuss the preservation of Native culture and language in public schools. FSRN's Matt Pearson has the story.
