Today, December 2- Safe and secure tribal elections

While much of the nation was enthralled in daily developments during the recent presidential election, dozens of tribes held elections, some with dramatic changes in governance. In South Dakota, the president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe was ousted in the primary after several controversies. In Oklahoma, the Seneca-Cayuga Nation elected their first female chief. In Montana, the Little Shell Tribe posted record voter turnout numbers for their first election as a federally recognized tribe. We’ll look at what goes into making secure, trustworthy tribal elections and talk to some of the newly elected leaders.
