that is why the national road is going to end up this way. more and more people come into the area, then the community will move up and down the river. it will start to expand. the center of it is about where we are right now, but as you move through the 19th century, the town extends to the south, extends to the north, and as it grows, it will be made out of brick. by the mid-century there will be a couple buildings here made out of stone. what that reflects is that the community is becoming wealthier. the national road makes its terminus here on the ohio river. why here? several reasons that wheeling had to its advantage. this is a floodplain here. it has an island at its basin. as a consequence, you have this place for river transport. the town also is old enough that it has some connections to people back in washington. if you look at a map and draw lines west from cumberland, you will realize the national road does not follow those lines. it goes north to uniontown because the secretary of the treasury in the jefferson administration, gu

and the state of indian nations grows stronger by the day. tribal nations are steadily reclaiming our rightful place among the american family of governments. and we are doing this despite antiquated ways of thinking about native peoples and tribal governments and outdated policies that belong to another century. today we are not where we want to be in our relationship with the federal government. but we are glad we are not where we used to be. [ applause ] today i bring a simple message. from the tribes of the 21st century we must tear down barriers to growth simplify regulations that are limiting opportunities and acknowledge that tribes have the capability of governments to oversee our own affairs. as we reach out to the federal government as a true partner we must continue to insist that the united states honors its trust responsibility to native peoples. honoring its trust responsibilities means recognizing indian country's legal authority to control its own destiny. it means respecting native peoples for who we are, not who others think

of the national action network. i think of reverend sharpton, i am reminded of a question that those who sat on the sidelines during the ministry of jesus of nazareth asked, as jesus of nazareth engaged in his prophetic ministry, there were many on the sidelines asked who is this man, who is this man born of a virgin, who is this man the son of a carpenter. who some man able to make the lame walk and multiply food for those who are hungry, who is this man who is able to challenge the powers that be and who is this man who when given an opportunity to save himself stayed on the cross and died for the least of these. well, two milennia later there are people still asking the very same question, who is this man born in the inner cities of new york city, who is this man who emerged from being a childhood preacher, community activist who has been on the front lines of our nation's civil rights issue who is this man who founded the national action network this country's premiere civil rights organization. who is this man

that is the nation's policy in the 1960s. our own freedom and growth have never been the final goal of the american dream. we were never meant to be an oasis of liberty and abundance in a worldwide desert of disappointed dreams. our nation was created to help strike a wave the chains of ignorance and misery and tyranny wherever they keep man less than god means him to be. we're moving toward that destiny. never more rapidly than we've moved in the last four years. in this period, we have built a military power strong enough to meet any threat and destroy any adversary. and that superiority will continue to grow. so long as this office is mine and you sit on capitol hill. and this period no new nation has become communist. and the unity of the communist empire has begun to crumble. and joined in an alliance for progress toward economic growth and political democracy. toward the conquest of space. has emerged into the fullness of self-confidence and purpose. no longer are we called upon to get america moving. we are moving. no
