Native America Calling: The work of Democratic delegates
Tuesday, August 20, 2024
The work of DNC delegates

Join Native America Calling to zero in on how sovereignty, the Indian Child Welfare Act, the trust responsibility, and consultation intersect with the mainstream push by Democrats and how that shows up in official party positions.
