Debra Haaland (D-NM, Laguna Pueblo), above, and Sharice Davids (D-KS, Ho-Chunk), below, are the first two Native American women elected to Congress, in last Tuesday/s mid-term elections

 

 

With the first two Native women elected to Congress, and the Native vote playing a key role in numerous elections, monthly co-host Jacqueline Keeler discusses how Native people can not only help tip the balance of power in Congress in close races like that of Democrat Jon Tester in Montana but also help bring Americans back to the original mindset that inspired these democratic institutions.

Look for Jacqueline's upcoming piece for Truthout on the issues discussed in this program.
