O'siyo Brothers and Sister!
A Federal Appeals Court has reinstated the
Native American Voting Rights Lawsuit in South Dakota with the proviso
that if the city of Martin sees a need to redraw its voting districts it
should have the right to do so.
In essence the lawsuit must go forward, but Martin has the right to
gerrymander the voting boundaries in such a way to nullify the effects
of the lawsuit.
This nation saw this same chess game played with the black vote in the
60s, and finally determined 1) the right of people of black descent in
this nation would prevail and 2) it was getting expensive and senseless
to keep going to court over the same futile arguments.
Isn't it high time the same sensible decision that in many states (and
districts within some states) Native Americans have been excluded from
the electoral process and it's prudent to grant our people the same
rights and privileges in the voting booth the rest of the nation enjoys?

| "What we need is an honest and
fair settlement of the Cobell lawsuit. But what we also need is an
acknowledgement from the U.S. government that they have lost and
mismanaged our money and don't know where it is - plain and simple."
--Tex Hall, chairman of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation and past
president of National Congress of American Indians. |
