N.D. (AP) Air Force One has arrived in Bismarck for President Barack Obama’s visit to the Standing Rock Reservation.

Obama is visiting the reservation straddling North Dakota and South Dakota to get a firsthand look at culture and also the problems there. The trip marks Obama’s first presidential visit to Indian Country.

Obama is only the third sitting president to come into Indian Country in almost 80 years. In 2008, then-candidate Obama pledged to expand health services, improve education, combat methamphetamine dealers, promote economic development and improve housing on reservations.

Some Standing Rock residents say many of those promises have yet to be met. Obama will be heading to the town of Cannon Ball for a speech and ceremony.
