A delegation from the Delaware Tribe of Indians was among several tribes that attended a speech by President Barack Obama in July. 

The speech was during a stop the President made to Choctaw Nation land in Durant, Oklahoma. 

Attending the Presidential stop on behalf of the Delaware Tribe of Indians were Chief Chet Brooks, and Tribal Council Members Nicky Michael and Michelle Holley.

The visit to tribal land is the second time President Obama has visited tribal lands in as many years. In 2014 he visited Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Nation in North Dakota.

“President Obama has been kind to Indian Country during his years in office,” said Chief Brooks of the visit. 

The Obama administration is reportedly working with local leaders in high-poverty areas to further eduction and economic goals. Dubbed “ConnectHome” the project is launching in the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. For areas that are known as “Promise Zones” like the Choctaw Nation, President Obama has also called on Congress to cut hiring and investment taxes to attract business and create jobs.

“This White House initiative, to provide internet access to rural Native American communities, is to alleviate education barriers identified by a group of Native American youth during the Generation Indigenous summit held at the White House earlier this year,” Holley said, adding that one Delaware youth, Joey Richard, attended the event in Washington D.C.
