@aurabogado "Descendants of", I had meant. I am Native - Choctaw Nation. In many ways, we are now immigrants in what were once our lands. -
@johnnasiiq if we had at least one Native in Senate there could be some representation. Wary of what Markwayne Mullin will say in the House -
@aurabogado The subcommittee on Indian/Native Alaskan Affairs should be an elected board of Natives. There is no representation now.
