From left to right: Unidentified, Phillip Martin, Secretary Norton, C. Bryant Rogers, and Jack Abramoff.
President Bush's Interior Secretary, Gale Norton, posed for a photo with notorious lobbyist Jack Abramoff, as well as Chief Phillip Martin of the Mississippi Band of Chocataw Indians. Chief Martin -- whom I have read about for many years after numerous Google searches -- did not officially meet with Abramoff.
Since I know Phillip Martin would never lie, we'll take him at his word. The story is here. The link to the photo is here. Thanks to fellow blogger Rawhide for the tip.

It is a sad constant of American history that anytime Native Americans are found to have something of value, some White Man will find a way to swindle them out of it. And it is another sad constant that there are always Native American "leaders" willing to sell out their own people when it happens.
