U.S. President Barack Obama (L-R) listens as Tatiana Ticknor of Alaska and Brayden White of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe talk about the problem of suicide in native American communities, at the annual White House Tribal Nations Conference in Washington November 5, 2015. Obama courted the American Indian vote as a first-time White House candidate in 2008. He became an honorary member of a tribe in Montana, the Crow Nation, and took on a native name: Black Eagle, which means "one who helps all people of this land." REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst
