Bill Richardson and Two Other Dems on the Reservation Today

17:00 H | Topics: Events - Politics

Apparently only some of the Democrats trying to snag the nomination from their party to run for prez think that the Native American vote is important. Governor Bill Richardson, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and Senator Mike Gravel are in Cabazon, California for a candidates forum with the Indigenous community in mind.

Watch the historic Prez on the Rez forum presidential forum today via internet at www.prezontherez.org at 3:30pm Pacific time (5:30pm Central).

We are making history with the Prez on the Rez forum with these dedicated candidates -- Governor Bill Richardson, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and Senator Mike Gravel. This is the first time presidential candidates will assemble on Indian land to lay out their visions for the future of Indian Country.

Mark Trahant, a member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and the editor of the editorial page at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, will moderate the discussion between the candidates and tribal leaders.

Join the proceedings online by watching the forum at www.prezontherez.org. The next President of the United States will realize tribes are a critical voting block and the opportunities and challenges in Indian Country deserve visionary leadership and dialogue with American Indian tribal citizens.
