Every day, Native American voters have to push back against structural barriers and unfair tactics that seek to restrict our freedom to vote. In the courts and legislative halls Tribal leaders and Native advocates are showing up to ensure that Native people are included in American democratic systems.
In the fourth installment of the “Native Voices, Native Vote” video series, we explore the long and ongoing struggle for voting rights among Alaska Natives, from literacy tests and disenfranchisement to modern challenges of language access, remote polling, and limited mail delivery. Join us as we examine what’s working, what’s broken, and how Alaska Native communities can reclaim their political power.
