Indigineity, Nativity and Boundaries of Exclusion

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

Indigenous politics cuts across nearly every aspect of import in the American political landscape, from federalism to historical attempts to curtail the vote, to land management and challenges associated with the climate crisis. However, very little is known about Indigenous people as agents in American politics. This panel examines the political identities, participation and representation of native people in the United States.
