Great
That was a great commentary by Natives for Natives. As the Native American Club President at Great Basin College in Elko, Nevada, I listened to the members say that their vote doesn't matter because they weren't educated about the voting process. We finally attended a "mock caucus" as a club the day before the caucus.
About 3/4 of the members attended the local caucus, more educated and more willing to accept their voting responsibilities.
So thank you Jordan and Tetona for your insight and ideas on educating the Native voters.
