WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will have an American Indian adviser in the White House to counsel him on tribal issues, a new post he promised while campaigning on Indian reservations last year.
Obama on Monday appointed Kimberly Teehee as a senior policy adviser for Native American affairs, saying she will provide “a direct interface at the highest level” of his administration. Teehee is a member of the Cherokee Nation and has worked for Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Mich., for the last decade.
