This year marks the centennial of the Indigenous Citizenship Act, also known as the Snyder Act, which granted citizenship to Native Americans nationwide. However, the act didn't guarantee the right to vote. We sit down with Ronnie Jo Horse, Western Native Voice's Executive Director, to explore the significance of this act 100 years later and its relevance in the current election season.
