Barack Obama’s visit Monday afternoon at the Crow Indian Reservation was a real success for both parties. Thousand of people gathered at the Crow Reservation welcomed Obama. In fact, he was also adopted into the Crow Nation and was given the name “One who helps people throughout the land,” reported The New York Times.

Carl Venne, the tribal chairman was the one who, officially, welcomed Obama.

As Sen. Obama walked on the stage, his new parents, Hartford “Sonny” and Mary Black Eagle, were right by his side.

According to the Billings Gazette, Obama is now part of the Whistling Water Clan and a child of the Newly Made Lodge. The Senator was very pleased with his new name “Barak Black Eagle,” saying that is was “a good name.”

Moving on to political issues, Obama started a speech about the situation of the 60,000 American Indians who live in Montana, saying that, if elected president, he would appoint a Native American adviser in his administration and also improve the health care and education conditions across the nation.

Obama was the first presidential candidate to visit the Crow Indian Reservation.

Venne spoke highly about Obama, saying that he really believed the Democratic candidate was capable of bringing some good changes to the situation of the American Indian people.

Obama and Venne both agree on the fact that all Americans are equal, regardless of ethnicity or race.

At the end of the visit, Obama said he would not break his promises, as he had become part of the family.

“And since now I'm a member of the family, you know I won't break my promises to my brothers and sisters,” said the Senator, according to the Billings Gazette.
