We called it here first, in the Redwood Forest, that one day there will be a Lakota (or other tribe) woman taking the oath of office on the steps of the capital.
With Barack Obama this dream moves a few steps forward. In one of his speeches about a month ago my ears caught him including "Native Americans" in a list of folks who need to be included. Hmm, I thought; that's definitely unusual, maybe unique in American politics.
Then come to find out, Tom Daschle, one of Mr. Obama's senior advisors, is much about the Native Americans. More to come.
