Former Congressman Pat Williams (D-Montana) spoke at the Montana Indian Education Association's legislative forum on Friday.

} Williams called for a revival of the late senator Robert Kennedy's visits to reservations in order to draw attention to the dismal social, health and economic conditions of Native Americans. He said local, state and national leaders must help improve Indian Country, even if it takes shaming them.

"Let's embarrass the hell out of our senators and congressmen, our governors and the president," he said, according to The Billings Gazette.
