To do so would be another step away from imperialism. Every territory, every indigenous nation within the states, ought to have equitable representation.
Not really....no, but it would be a first step towards it. If they accept her it's very unlikely that they won't accept any other tribe even though they should.
Nope. Welfare losers would vote for Democrats. Why would we agree to create states run by Democrats and populated by drunk Russians who come from Siberia?
@@Crimgar Considering the fact they only have so much time for each segment of his show and they needed time for her to speak as well, I don't think they meant anything personal by it.
This is it!!!! I got chills. It is time for the Americans to be accountable and fulfill her promises to her people. We must right the wrongs, no matter how long ago they were made. Bless
Since when do Indians care about honoring a treaty? They owe Foundational Black Americans Millions of dollars and land from the treaty of 1866. They were paid by the government to fulfill this and they still have not paid us a dime yet!
I'm Native and we don't need double representation. We already have local representatives. You don't want the greedy and corrupt tribal government involved in the federal government.
What I would've liked more from this piece is pointing out and calling accountability to those who have either failed to bring this to vote, or those who have obstructed it. Making known those who stand in the way of progress is the greatest power news outlets have to give the people influence over their own representatives. We know what needs to happen, so why, specifically, has it not happened in the last three years?
The question is not why did it not happen in the last three years, but why has it never happened for the last two hundred years, they are the original,natives of this land.
@@isidralopezortiz4366 I think we can all figure out why it didn't happen 180 years ago, or 100 years ago, or even 50 years ago. But the people who could make it happen then are not the people who can make it happen now, and holding people from 100 years ago accountable will change nothing. That's why I want accountability for the people who right now, can actually effect the right change.
@@janemorrow6672 It hasn't been brought to a referendum but the current PM and his party is in the process of working out that and other steps required to enshrine the Voice to parliament. Keep in mind that our indigenous peoples are fighting sadly within their ranks over this so it won't be so easy. That said Albanese did promise to bring it to the table its just making it work right for them.
Australia is ahead of everyone concerning the rights of the people. I saw a movie called The Suffragettes, at the end they showed how Australia had given woman the right to vote way before the rest of the world!
Why is that? They are Americans now. They get the same rights and privileges every other citizen gets, no more no less. If they don’t like it, then their ancestors should have fought harder. Most of these people are more everything else than they are Cherokee. If a white man has 1/4 Native American in him but 75% Irish and Scottish, is he actually Cherokee? What about 3% native like the previous president of the Cherokee nation? You guys want to provide special privileges to a bunch of white people who self identify as something they are mostly not?
Why hasn't this been done already? Because every nation(tribe) will have to have one,and who's to argue they don't deserve one,but it will turn into a legal nightmare,can of worms kinda thing.
@@markberryhill2715 It threatens the people in power and always did... so the people in power ignored every treaty natives made in good faith. It isn't as if a house made entirely of reps who live on reservations would suddenly cause a mass extinction of WHITE people, but maybe they fear the retribution if they dare let one slip in who doesn't look like the ones already pulling all the strings, drawing all the districts, and trying their damnedest to "Keep America Brute-iful" by keeping white men holding most seats of power for as long as humanly possible.
Although I totally agree, that is not especially useful right now, and, may I ask, is that historically accurate, or dramatically appropriated for purposes of propaganda?
@@OnerousEthic Historically accurate pertaining to all the treaties signed by the United States of America with all the Native American tribes. The only propaganda are fools like you failing to study and understanding history of injustices against Native Americans and other various ethnicities.
Yes yes and yes! My mother always says " don't make promises you don't intend to keep" and "always hold up your end of the bargain" it's only right, but also an apology would be nice for waiting 187 years to actually act on the promise they made themselves!!!! 🤦🏽♀️
Apologies were already made, the us government has admitted to the evil that they continue to do this very minute ‼️ There’s bad people greedily running our government for us with evil and malevolence burned into their hearts and now they are after you and me. This is the reason we must always remain vigilant!

Wow! Just wow! Amazing! More US history that I was never taught in grade school, high school, or university! Keep informing! Claim what is deserved and owed!
I don’t understand why we tear down statues for one group of losers (confederates) and put them up for another (native Americans). You lost. War is over. You’re Americans now like the rest of us.
@@kevinc8955 i think the difference is that native americans were never traitors. to place people that were traitors and people that were brutally conquered in the same category is....disturbing.

You do realize that you are the product of the events they proceeded you. If they weren’t removed from their lands then you would not exist, and neither would your grandmother. They signed over all their land for a seat in the house. They should get their seat, but never get the land back. They knew what they were signing away and what they were getting. You can’t be selective with agreements, otherwise they mean nothing.
So you’re like 3% Cherokee? Big whoop. You’re just another white American woman. Driving a wedge between modern Americans based on grievances that happened 100+ years ago doesn’t strengthen this country.

Why would the U.S allow the literal definition of minority rule? The Cherokee should get a rep because it was signed in a treaty, but the other tribes do not have any right to demand the same.
@@AtillatheFun Other indigenous tribes do not have a say as to what happens on their ancestral lands? So...indigenous peoples have no right to input on how government decisions affect their people's, lands, water rights, and other natural resources? It's okay for SCOTUS to make decisions which attacks and diminish Native Sovereign Rights, but you don't think indigenous peoples should have the right to speak? Daaaaang
i love how the u.s. government sent these people to a place they thought was waste land and when they found something on it that will make them money they want it back. i swear every treaty ever written has been broken

@@blakethegreatone2058 that is like saying promises mean nothing. principles mean nothing, honesty, integrity, they all mean nothing. what you said is actually a perfect representation of how i think the republican party behaves. Everyone knows they are blatant lies, but when telling the truth "means nothing", the words of republicans have become rallying crys.
@@spencertwoeightyz3383 in America the government doesn't keep promises unless there is a major benefit for the government. For an example look at how native Americans get treated. The second part of your comment applies to both sides.
@@blakethegreatone2058 i slightly disagree about who needs to benefit. the benefit isnt needed for the government for promises to be kept, it is needed for the corporations that lobby the government. there are countless benefits for the government to increase representation of minorities. there just arent any benefits to the ultra elite, and that is who most politicians cater towards. a higher educated, healthier, higher paid population are all beneficial to our country as a whole. just look at how the government runs the military. free healthcare, free job training, free, free, free. if i were to put political labels on it, increasing those things without regard to how it makes the super elite feel would be labeled as socialism. yet, one side feels very strongly against socialist programs yet i dont even think they know why. it is just an easy narrative to repeat. yet they also are super strong about being pro-military, basically a communist run portion of the government. maybe my comment does apply to both sides, i just think one side is much more blatant about it. and perhaps that is because one party seems to be much more about helping the underdog and the underrepresented. PS. everyone tells me that i earned those benefits, that our military isnt communism. again, i disagree. i enjoyed the "free" benefits for half a year before i even started "earning" any of these benefits. it took 6 months before i was done with training and would actually be considered an asset, yet i still had free housing, free food, free dental, etc. it is all about averages. and in the military, they know a better trained, healthier, longer living soldier is a better investment than the capitalism alternative. i propose we make all citizens in america just as socialist as our military is. the government sees a return on their investment in the form of higher tax revenue.
@@spencertwoeightyz3383 the elites not benefiting is exactly why minority representation won't happen in an overt manner. Highly educated and a healthier population would be beneficial. I'm not so sure about the higher education or higher wages though. If greed wasn't an issue then maybe,but there is no logical way that you can raise wages and not have the prices rise astronomically. The things in the military aren't free. Though you weren't trained for months you were still an asset to the military. You could have been deployed immediately and just thrown into the fire. Unlikely to happen,but every single member of the military today basically signed a contract of their own free will to provide a service for the military and possibly give your life for basic necessities. The communist version of that is conscription. I'm very highly against the civilian world being ran like the military in many ways. I can only imagine the amount of fu**ery that would ensue. Civilians knowing their place instead of thinking they are all in charge would be a pleasant change though. Lol. Income taxation is mass racketeering and theft so I'm very very against the government getting more money to misspend.
Sorry, Tribe, the GOP hates you too much to do anything for you either. The rest of us are voting as hard as we can, and as soon as we get our reputation back from dropping out of the Paris Agreement, we'll try to catch up on all the other times we've failed to keep our word.
@@commonsense3632 Listen to the video again - unless you are assuming that a Native is automatically part of the Deep State alien parasite plot. It wasn't the Dems who blocked the delegate being seated.
Why are you apologizing to a nation that expelled it's black tribe members and had to be forced to recognize them as Cherokees by a US district court which determined that the descendants of the Cherokee Freedmen are entitled to full tribal citizenship rights under a treaty the Cherokee Nation made with the US in 1866?

This is a simple way to lift naitive voices ,it’s hard to understand why anyone would be against bringing them to the conversation about our shared future. It’s the right thing to do stronger together bridges instead of walls.
What a nonsensical answer. How does catering to separatists strengthen this country? Reservations shouldn’t even exist. Neither should the nation of Cherokee. We’re just all Americans now. We should all be asking how can we treat each other more equally rather than asking what special things we should give to these people over here to make them less angry about things they never personally experienced that happened a 100+ years ago. This has to stop. This is how politicians like Trump become popular to begin with.
We are already at the table.... do you think we don't vote for our representatives just the same? You probably think we all live in teepees and aren't allowed to vote.....
@@kevinc8955 "How does catering to separatists strengthen this country?" Maybe... by reversing just a tiny bit of damage done by the genocide committed against those nations when this country established itself in their lands? By trying to help right horrific wrongs done in the past by this government, at least as much as is possible for something that's been swept under the rug for so long? Edit: I reread the part of your comment about how reservations and the Cherokee Nation shouldn't exist anymore, and that they should all be Americans now... Somehow I glossed over that part when I wrote this response; if I hadn't, I wouldn't have deemed you worth responding to. You want to make the genocide and forced assimilation of tribal groups complete? Not worthy of being taken seriously.
My ancestors came west on The Trail of Tears. I have made it a personal quest to visit many different areas along the Trail. I have been to Cherokee, NC times. I live on the Trail.

Absolutely Lawrence! The Cherkee people should have their delegate in the House of Representatives! They were promised this ON PAPER 187 years ago, it is high time to honor that treaty agreement. To do so will simply set right something that has been out of place and wrong for a very long time. *Everybody should contact Speaker Pelosi and encourage her to bring this up for a vote before January!*

Cherokee have the Eastern Band in North Carolina and the Western Band in Oklahoma. They each ave a tribal Chief and Council. This separation was caused by President Andrew Jackson's forced march removal ( The Trail of Tears which almost 5000 Cherokee died) which started in 1838. ( There were also 4 other Eastern tribes that were removed from the Southeatern United States to Oklahoma Indian Territory. This was done to give the Indian lands in the SE US to WHITE Settlers.

Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles are all part of the 5 civilized tribes and members of all of those tribes were included in the Trail of Tears march by Andrew Jackson, all of the tribes should be represented in Congress!
Hallelujah, thank you Lawrence, for this long awaited broadcasting to speak of USA - Native treaties never kept. We pray this may change now. Please keep reporting on this so essential issue. We will all be waiting to have Native Rights finally become a structural part of US politics.
I think it is time for a calling/emailing campaign. The only way this is going to happen is for all of us to start badgering out Repersentatives until they get the hint this is a priority and needs to be done. They will pay attention only when enough of us have make it know it is one of our concerns.
As a Native American I've already contacted them and told them I'm against this. We already vote for our representatives, we dont need double representation and the greedy corrupt tribal government doesn't need to be involved in the federal government.
