Finally this week, the president made a long overdue trip.

President Obama focused on the struggles of Native Americans today.

He made a visit to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

With his visit today, he becomes only the fourth sitting president ever to visit an Indian reservation.

Only the fourth sitting president to visit ever.

I mean, technically, if you count non-sitting presidents, then Andrew Jackson did visit a lot, but you really shouldn't count that.

Department of Housing and Urban Development announced they'd be making 70 million dollars available to improve tribal housing conditions, including money for mold removal.

To which the Native Americans presumably said, -"Oh, finally!

Okay, we are officially square." -$25,000 Look...

It was touch and go for a few centuries there, but at the end of the day, all we wanted was our molds removed.
