Dear Friends, I rarely do these non-monthly-issue interludes, but I’ve received several questions about Native American candidates recently (and I’ve been writing about the upcoming SCOTUS case Brackeen v. Haaland; more below), so uplifting indigenous leadership has been top of mind. I hope, as we reflect on the history of colonization, displacement, genocide, and coercive assimilation before next Monday’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day that perhaps some of these recommendations will give you tangible ways to devote your thinking and resources to reconciling this history.
