Mattie Kahn // A Historic Number of Native American Women Are Running for Office
29.4.18
A Historic Number of Native American Women Are Running for Office: "American Indians have been invisible...in so many sectors in society," Denise Juneau, the superintendent of Montana schools and one of the first native women in the United States to win a statewide executive position, said in an interview with the Times. But their election is not just a matter of representation, Flanagan tells me. It's an issue of power.
Even at 22, Flanagan understood that native people didn't have the voice they needed in the offices where decisions were made. "I saw, really in that one afternoon, that electoral politics cold build power for us, and I knew I wanted to be involved in that."
