Another great step for U.S. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in honoring and recognizing Native Americans. - Deborah Parker, Tulalip
Last time we talked politics, it was to say that NEITHER Democratic candidate had done anything to show good faith toward Native people. Sure, they both had a written document that made promises to Indian Country, but at that time neither candidate had invested any time, money or other resources toward Indian Country in their campaigns.
Well, thats changed. At least its changed for one candidate.
See, Hillary Clinton STILL has not shown one bit of investment into Indian Country (other than a conference call that probably cost two dollars)no outreach people to Indian Country, no ads committed to Native people, no visits to Indian Country.
Nada.

(7,661 posts)the very same thing about socialism and how it relates with how Native Americans once lived. I tell them not only they helped each other they had a great respect for the land. That IMO is socialism, not what others claim what it is. I'm glad he is showing the Native Americans the respect they long deserved!!!!!
