This year marks the centennial of the Indian Citizenship Act, which theoretically gave Native people the right to vote in U.S. elections. But U.S. citizenship and the right to vote in U.S. elections are not universally celebrated by Native people. hcn.org/issues/56-10/t…


Announcement: I will not give media interviews regarding Joe Biden’s boarding school apology. And I ask that you remain reverent and mindful in any continued coverage. Please refrain from sending interview inquiries.


“Some people want to talk about money, some people want to talk about policy, and that’s really common to do in government...But what an apology does is it recognizes the humanity of the people directly affected.” hcn.org/articles/presi…
