The United States has signed over 500 treaties with Tribal Nations—and we have broken every single one of them. Because of our actions, Native American communities lag behind others in terms of health care, education, and economic development. Together, we can right this.https://twitter.com/tperry518/status/1186260709702848513 …

They are also responsible for Flint Michigan too. How many years has it been? How many children have been disabled for life because of it? We need better candidates and people need to vote, especially in the local elections.

Is there a relatively concrete plan for how to acquire that land, in such a way that it ends up being contiguous enough to be useful?
