Native Americans overcame multiple challenges to turn out in record numbers during the 2020 elections, playing a crucial role in Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump. One of those challenges: many Native reservations lack their own polling sites, forcing residents to sometimes travel hours to cast a ballot. As part of our series “Defending Democracy in the 2022 Midterm Elections,†TRNN’s Jaisal Noor and Carly Sauvageau speak with leaders of the Walker River Paiute and Pyramid Lake Paiute, two tribes that successfully sued Nevada for the right to get polling sites on their reservations, which played a key role in Native organizers’ efforts to mobilize and empower their community.

This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell
" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"Let the knowledge come to us from every directionsThe amount of right wing trolls on here venting about how Indians voted for someone other than the great orange one is rather troubling. They need to chill.
Everyone should Vote This government to the America's Tribes. End states lines. United as being Families of America's Tribes. Honestly caring for all families inviroments well being.. Here and worldwide.
Glad to see them voting more and more
I just want to hear if they’re all glad they voted for sleepy joe
That’s the real test
Vote how you want to, but also tell us if you’re glad you voted for him and the disarray he’s put our country in since he’s been in
What has the administration of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., 46th and current president of the United States of America, done for the Paiute of Nevada?
This was an amazing story
I want to help people vote
I can help take people to the polls or help bring the polls to them
Good to see native communities coming together to combat gerrymandering and the systemic obstacles set up to exclude them from participating in the democratic process
ðŸ‘
It’s funny how the government takes away your rights more and more every year.
It’s a true shame that we the people have to fight for basic rights, that we’re supposedly inalienable.
Great video
5 dollar Indian
The Dawes act. Stolen identity…

Aren't the "nations" considered separate countries? Why not let France and Russia vote? They want autonomy be separate should not be playing both sides. Am I missing something?
Natives to what??? They are not autochthonous Amer’ican people (see, 1828 Webster’s for the correct spelling – that above – and for the definition… those people are NOT the original copper-colored people of this land).
Voted for their own oppression.
>>>>>BULL SHIT!!! <<<<<<
It's a beautiful thing when people get their and use their rights 💖✌
Hey why is this unlisted?
