“The Democracy is Indigenous Committee was created for the purpose of educating and encouraging our tribal citizens to exercise their right to vote as Native people. Our right to Vote is sacred, as the Native people of this land we did not yet gain the right to vote in the United States of America until the year 1957. Make your voice heard this year by making your Native vote count!”
“By voting, you are making your voice be heard, and helping to ensure that our communities’ needs and issues are addressed at both a local and national level. Voting is our opportunity as the Indigenous people of this land, to help shape our collective future not only for ourselves but for generations to come.”
