2023 Mid Year Convention & Marketplace

Please join us on Friday, May 29, 2020 from 12-1 p.m. EDT (UTC -4) to discuss the challenges faced by Native American communities with regard to their participation in local, state and federal elections.

These challenges are likely to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As we enter the final months before the November 2020 elections, this roundtable will explore the continued barriers to Native American participation, including those posed by the pandemic, as well as key policy recommendations for promoting and protecting the electoral rights of Native Americans.

- Kim Wyman, Washington Secretary of State
- Ruth Anna Buffalo, North Dakota House of Representatives District 27
- Natalie Landreth, Native American Rights Fund
- Tammy Patrick, Democracy Fund

The Carter Center's Avery Davis-Roberts will moderate the discussion.

Forum members may participate in the live chat and questions will be passed along to the panel. Register for a membership by clicking 'Join The Community' at top right.

Native American Participation 2020 Roundtable

Does your Tribe currently need a more secure form of identification for members?

Would an identification card equivalent to the United States Passport Card facilitate travel easier?

Join this one-day informational session as you will hear from the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, Enhanced Tribal Card (ETC) Program experts and the Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (DHS/CBP), about how your Tribal Nation can have an ETC Program operating in less than one year!

Walk-away with the necessary knowledge, an action plan, and key resources to guide your ETC Program to full implementation.

7th Annual Enhanced Tribal Card Informational Session

This spring, the Native Farm Bill Coalition is organizing a series of “fly-ins” for Tribal leaders and Native producers across the country to talk directly with members of Congress, their staff, and the Biden Administration. By participating in these fly-ins, Coalition members will have the opportunity to advocate for policy changes that would positively impact Indian Country, such as strengthening tribal self-governance, allowing Tribes to manage nutrition programs, investing in economic development opportunities in rural communities, and much more.
