DES MOINES (AP) — Dennis Kucinich presented the spiritual leader of the Lakota tribe with a ceremonial blanket Sunday, saying that as president he would work to heal wounds between the government and American Indians.


"I pledge to you a presidency that embraces the spirit of being of America long before it was established as the United States, but an America which connects with the values of Native Americans to the Mother Earth," Kucinich told Looking Horse.

The Ohio congressman said he would work to heal the breach that exists between the government and American Indians. "There is much so healing to do," he said, noting their long suffering at the hands of the U.S. government.

Looking Horse, who gave a blessing in his native language, said America needs a president who will honor the original intent of the Constitution.

Dennis Kucinich is about just that. Healing, honoring the constitution, bringing people together, and working to bring America to the best that she can be.

1. Thats just cool and kind

He did the same thing to the Navajos in New Mexico. Dennis I know is an ethnic guy of Irish/Croatian decent and an urban person but he after being mayor of Cleveland lived out in the southwest, so I envision he got to know the Native Americans out there, in fact I am raelly impressed with how Dennis has reached out to the Native American community.

2. You know, John, you are right.

I think he has reached out to all people. He is the most inclusive candidate I've ever looked at; one of the most inclusive people, job title aside, I've ever met. While he is the antithesis of George W. Bush, he is truly a uniter.

3. cool

Kick for DK and Looking Horse!
