The news is wrongly reporting a different kind of Indian as the first VP candidate "of color."
For further reading, here is a book "From Kaw Teepee to Capitol: The Story of Charles Curtis": https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b310631&view=1up&seq=1
This is a significant catch! And just to be sure, I checked it with Wikipedia. Curtis was an enrolled member of the Kaw nation. And a Republican.
Someone should inform Trump about this. It would make an excellent gotcha reply the next time some reporter asks him about that first person of color Kamala Harris.
Wait a minute; Injuns don’t count as POC- ask BLM and they’ll tell you.
History didn’t start until Big Lies Matter said it did, just like no one is black until Joe Biden says they are.
