"The U.N. declaration recognizes the rights of indigenous groups, like American Indians, in such areas as culture, property and self-determination.

The United States was one of a handful of countries to refrain from backing the doctrine in the past, but following a recent review of the government's position, Obama said, "I can announce that the United States is lending its support to this declaration...."

This is something to celebrate!

Love and Light
