[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 791616, member: 12952"] [B]Obama adopts U.N. manifesto on rights of indigenous peoples[/B] President Obama announced Thursday that the U.S. would reverse the position of the Bush administration and become the last nation to drop its opposition to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. John R. Bolton, a U.N. ambassador under President George W. Bush, called the announcement "exactly the kind of mushy, feel-good multilateralist gesture one would expect from President Obama." Objections to the declaration include its potential to conflict with U.S. law, its failure to define exactly who indigenous peoples are, and its support for tribes seeking claims on lands occupied hundreds of years ago. Article 26 of the declaration states that "indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.
