Related: About this forumBernie Sanders Campaign Now Has a Native American Advisor
From DailyKos: Bernie Sanders Names Tara Houska Native American Advisor to the Campaign:
Bernie has named a new Native American advisor to the campaign. Tara Houska is a tribal rights attorney, as well as an environmental activist and a contributing columnist to Indian Country Today Media Network (ICTMN)
From ICTMN:
In her new role, Houska, who is Couchiching First Nation, will field press inquiries, recruit voters particularly Native Americans and assist with drafting Sanders Native American policy.
Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, a Democrat, has said he will work with the Native American community in preserving their heritage, and their way of life and that he will do everything he can to redress [treaty violations].
Houska is also a National Campaigns Director with the environmental justice group, Honor The Earth, led by Native American leader and activist, Winona LaDuke. She is also founding board member of Not Your Mascots.
I look forward to seeing Ms. Houska campaigning for Bernie!

Boston PBS show tonight, or Symone Sanders, Bernie will be fortunate.

She is wonderful.
Native American issues always take a back seat in today's politics.
I'm glad that Bernie is willing to go there.
