      Native Americans can vote in state and national elections and are supposed to be represented in Congress by the senators and representative of the state they live in, but they are not represented directly by a native with equal standing and their land and rights are usually not a priority for their legislators or states they live in.

      Natives can vote in the US. The republicans have tried to make it harder because they vote against them.

            Well, that’s a good question. In all seriousness, probably Liberia. If they get to that point. Lots of cases have been overturned but that doesn’t stop ICE from kidnapping and holding whoever they want.

          The mask is off, they aren’t pretending. We shouldn’t either. We need to respond.

          The natives are especially valuable for environmental issues, as their treaties dicatate rights, and they are on the right side of all such issues. But the fed courts are going to hell so that is ending.
