Washington, DC is home to over 170 foreign embassies; on November 3 the newest one to open is the Embassy of Tribal Nations, to serve as a center for visiting Native American tribal leaders while they conduct business in the capital. On Thursday, President Obama will host what is being billed as the First Annual Tribal Nations Conference at the Department of the Interior, to which 564 tribes are invited to send representatives. The President and senior Administration officials will address the gathering, where issues to be discussed include economic development and natural resources; public safety and housing; and education, health and labor.
