Nearly 200 American Indian Tribal Leaders Endorse Joe Biden & Kamala Harris in 2020 Presidential Election



This week, nearly 200 tribal and Indian leaders across the United States have endorsed Joe Biden and the 2020 Democratic presidential ticket, according to a story in Indianz.com. 

The endorsements came after the Biden Harris campaign released a 15 page Plan for Tribal Nations, which laid out in detail their commitment to strengthening the Nation-to-Nation relationship between the United States and Indian tribes.  

The endorsement reads:

I’M SUPPORTING JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020!

I am proud to give my support for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. As Indian Country continues to face enormous challenges to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their nations, we need a leader who is willing to take bold action and make the investments that are needed to keep our tribal citizens safe.

Throughout his tenure in the political arena, Joe Biden has demonstrated time and time again that he is a leader who understands Indian Country, and is willing to fight for the resources our tribal nations need in order to be successful. We need Joe Biden, a leader who truly understands what Tribal sovereignty is and knows how to support Tribal nations in their nation building efforts.

I am proud to do everything I can to ensure that Joe Biden is elected this November and am thrilled to work with his administration to ensure Indian Country has a seat at the table of decision making in every matter that affects our people for generations to come.

 Keep up-to-date on the latest news from the Biden Harris campaign.

For the first time in our history, we’re facing three historic crises -- all at the same time. We’re facing the worst pandemic in 100 years. The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
