Bernie Sanders Campaign Now Has a Native American Advisor

[LongTomH]

From DailyKos: Bernie Sanders Names Tara Houska Native American Advisor to the Campaign:

Bernie has named a new Native American advisor to the campaign. Tara Houska is a tribal rights attorney, as well as an environmental activist and a contributing columnist to Indian Country Today Media Network (ICTMN)

From ICTMN:

In her new role, Houska, who is Couchiching First Nation, will field press inquiries, recruit voters – particularly Native Americans – and assist with drafting Sanders’ Native American policy.

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, a Democrat, has said he will “work with the Native American community in preserving their heritage, and their way of life” and that he will do “everything” he can to “redress [treaty violations].”

Houska is also a National Campaigns Director with the environmental justice group, Honor The Earth, led by Native American leader and activist, Winona LaDuke. She is also founding board member of Not Your Mascots.

I look forward to seeing Ms. Houska campaigning for Bernie!

1. She looks so familliar! If she's half as good as Susan Sarandon, whom I watched on a local

Boston PBS show tonight, or Symone Sanders, Bernie will be fortunate.

3. This is good.

She is wonderful.

Native American issues always take a back seat in today's politics.

I'm glad that Bernie is willing to go there.
