The crisis on the #NavajoNation is hundreds of years in the making, dating back to the ethnic cleansing policies of Abraham Lincoln. But the US thinks these problems can be solved w/ charity rather than dealing justly w/ the Doctrine of Discovery & our country's genocidal history

The #COVID19 pandemic has clearly exposed the systemic inequalities that have existed in the USA since its founding, not only throughout Indian country, but in all other marginalized communities throughout the nation.

I invite you to learn more about my independent campaign for POTUS. My vision is to build as nation where We the People truly means #AllThePeople.

If you're wondering why you haven't heard about my campaign before, it's b/c the national media has learned that USA only wants to hear about natives when we're victims in need of charity, or savages who need to be contained. Not much interest in us as peers & co-equal citizens.
