"This man isn't your stereotypical Bernie bro" [View all]

In some ways he's like other ambitious people his age. He's set on a clear career path; in his case, politics. He is already the vice president of the Washington State High School Democrats.

But Adkins definitely isn't one of those "Bernie bros" you've heard so much about.

"Bernie supporters stereotypically are just white middle class people who are very privileged," he told KUOW in an interview. "And I wanted to show that there’s more to Bernie supporters than just that."

Adkins is a member of the Yurok Tribe of Northern California. He wants to show tribes across the nation how young natives can get involved in politics. He said tribes are often an afterthought in politics, and that needs to change.

He says he hasn't decided if he would support you-know-who.
