The following is the text of an October 15, 2020, endorsement letter from President Rodney Bordeaux of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Re: Rosebud Sioux Tribe Endorsement of Biden—Harris; Native American Issues
Dear Joe and Kamala:
On behalf of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, I write to endorse you as America’s next President and Vice President. From the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, we are counting on you to win the election for President and Vice President and we will do all we can to support you!
We must Restore American Values. For us, that means America must be a True Democracy with Voting Rights for all Americans, including Native Americans. For too many years, our Native American people have suffered violations of our voting rights. We trust you to stand up for American voting rights, including Native American voting rights!
We must restore Environmental Justice. For too long, environmental polluters have degraded our Sioux Nation treaty lands and waterways. We thank you for pledging to stop the KXL Pipeline. We call upon you to review the DAPL Pipeline, which evaded the requisite legal reviews for environmental protection and threatens our drinking water. We will join with you to protect Grandmother Earth, address Climate Change, and build a Green Energy industry and stop the extinction of Native plants, birds and animals.
