Just came across this in a NY Times article on President Obama's reception among Native American communities. Wish I coulda been at this event - the kinda thing that makes me proud to live in New Mexico:
"When asked about immigration concerns in New Mexico, Obama pointed to a handful of elderly natives in the front row of a high school gym.
“He said, ‘The only real native people in this country are sitting right in front of me,’ ” recalled Joe Garcia, who is president of the National Congress of American Indians. “You should have heard the applause.”"
