An array of solar panels glisten in the sun outside Cannon Ball, N.D., located on the north side of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, where the grand opening for the project was held on Friday, July 26, 2019. The project was motivated in part by the controversial Dakota Access pipeline that was built over the objections of Native American leaders and others. The solar project is meant as a first step toward clean energy independence and a way to power all 12 of the reservation communities. (AP Photo/Dave Kolpack)

I’ve posted the transcripts for the White House Tribal Nations Conference on Nov. 5. This was the landmark meeting with President Obama and more than 400 tribal leaders, the largest White House gathering ever of this nature. If you’re interested in the videos, here they are:
