AUGUST 23, 2000 Tribes in California and beyond are emerging as the true winners after the recent Democratic National Convention. Tribes and Native voters have been heavily welcomed and courted by the party. The Republican party has also begun outreach to tribal leaders, particularly in the wake of a Washington State Republican Party resolution calling for the termination of "non-republican" tribal governments and Presidential candidate George W. Bush's comments on sovereignty last year. The Office of the Senate Republican Leader in Sacramento, California, will now have a liaison to the Indian community. Mary Ann Andreas, chairwoman of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, addressed the Democratic convention and presented Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante with 59 arrows for the 59 gaming compacts recently signed with the state. Get the Story:
