As the election season approaches, Native Americans are facing significant challenges in exercising their voting rights. Historical barriers and ongoing issues such as intimidation, voter suppression, and racism contribute to the difficulties encountered by Indigenous voters. Despite attaining U.S. citizenship a century ago, many Native Americans continue to struggle with access to the ballot box. The upcoming elections could see Native votes play a critical role, particularly in competitive races like the Montana U.S. Senate seat, yet many voters are demanding to know what politicians will do for their communities. Organizations like Western Native Voice are urging voters to return their ballots as more Native Americans appear on ballots than ever before, although there is still a call for greater representation. Upcoming events such as horseback rides to the polls are highlighting the importance of Indigenous voices in elections, as communities mobilize to ensure their voices are heard.
