SPARKS, Nev.-I have been a proud Native voter since the U.S. presidential elections of 2000.
If you recall, that race went on for weeks until the Supreme Court was called in to break the tie. At that point, when George W. Bush supported an anti-reservation figure--former Washington Sen. Slade Gordon--as Secretary of the Interior, I became disengaged from national politics.
Most views in the last week:
Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)
A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.
Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.
A Tennessee high school, whose mascot is the Indians, takes the Native American motif one step further: It calls school grounds "The Reservation."
The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
