In our first episode of this quick-release season, we explore the critical role and deep history of voting in shaping Native American rights and health outcomes. Jim Crouch, a member of the Cherokee Nation and former Executive Director of the California Rural Indian Health Board Inc (CRIHB), joins us to discuss the history of Native voting rights, the challenges faced, and the milestones achieved. We dive into the data showing how Native voter participation impacts community health and share powerful stories of change driven by the Native vote. Tune in to understand why your vote matters more than ever and how it can help shape health policy for the next seven generations.
