"What if Indian Country had a say in electing the next president?" [View all]
Mark Trahant, in Native Hoop Magazine Page 66.
Winning Indian Country
An irreverent guide to the 2016 elections
An irreverent guide to the 2016 elections
What if Indian Country had a say in electing the next president? What if candidates had to visit tribal communities and native urban centers and ask for our vote? What if American Indians and Alaska Natives had sway far beyond the small percentage of voters that our population represents? What if all we had to do to win was to vote?
Trahant is optimistic.
Who will be Indian Country's Barack Obama? She's probably already been elected to a state office.

For what it's worth, there's a photo of Senator Sanders on page 30 of the same magazine.
