I have been to Reservations. How can any so called Native American vote Democrat? I guess the reservation is just like the urban ghetto of guaranteed loyalty to the DNC and a life of despair.
Maybe she will learn a thing or two...
Free candy and alcohol for a vote.
Yep I remember Ben Nighthorse Campbell. But as a man, apparently he doesn’t count in this discussion.
I remember him, he was a decent guy. He was a formerly a Democrat and switched to the Republican Party.
Good points.
I would note also, that the left focus on the identity politics, only applies to those who are also liberal/left.
So then, the left does not recognize Republican and/or conservative members of the recognized grievance groups.
Clarence Thomas comes to mind. There are so many others who belong to minority groups, who are not lauded by the left for their achievements, because they aren’t liberal/left.
And look at so many women who are not considered worthy by the left. Such as Sarah Palin.
If Sarah Palin were liberal, based on her background and achievements and life, she would have been celebrated as a combination of Joan of Arc, Rosie the Riveter, and Annie Oakley.
She would have been celebrated by the women’s groups and women’s magazines, who write those articles about women wanting to have it all. Sarah has had it all, based on their criteria, by moving up to high levels in her chosen profession, and still having a fulfilling family life.
She is giving a warning shot to the very liberal Kennedy family? Wow.
without a Eagle Feather floating gently to the ground in that ad....She has no chance to win......But you already know that...
Look at the blue counties out west = ALL reservations vote democrat.
A Spirit Catcher someplace would have been nice. But the average person may have mistook it for a spider web.
Never mind.
Haaland is such an Indian name.
You’re not supposed to ask probing logical questions like that. How gauche!
lol
***Deb Haaland is one step closer to becoming the first Native American congresswoman in U.S. history.***
Native American Woman, not the first Native American in government.
The Vice President of the USA who was a KAW Indian.

...oh lord...wont you buy me a mercedes benz?
Campbell though was a super-abortion booster.
Uncanny, they could be identical twins.
Their Injun is running.
Ok - I get that all Native Americans (Indians) were made citizens some time back. What I don’t get is that now they are citizens why do we continue to treat them as separate nations that require treaties and do not have to follow local State laws.
It would seem to me that if they are citizens then by definition they should fall under the same requirements as everyone else in the state. Do away with the reservations. Transfer the property as private property to those currently living on the properties. If someone wants to continue in that vain fine - keep the community as they see fit.
Just doesn’t make sense to me.
