An Election We Could Not Sit Out: How Indigenous Voters Helped Defeat Trump & Elect Biden
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Native American voters saw a massive increase in turnout this year and helped deliver key swing states for Joe Biden, but Indigenous peoples and the role they played in defeating Donald Trump have been largely ignored in mainstream media analyses. We speak with Allie Young, a citizen of the Navajo Nation and founder of Protect the Sacred, who organized a horseback trail ride to the polls. She says it was important to her to motivate Indigenous youth to turn out. “I was hearing on the ground that they weren’t feeling very motivated to participate in this election,” she says. “I wanted to communicate to them that this is an election that we just cannot sit out.”

Outstanding! Thank you for covering the participation of Native American citizens! Bravo!
To my Native American Brothers and Sisters Fight the Power. Stay Strong Be Safe.✌🏽❤️
From an Arizonian right outside the Navajo Nation, it is coming time for you to wake up and see who the real enemies of humankind are. You will be surprised.
Much respect from a Shawnee American.
What a strong and forgiving culture!
Forgive them for they know not what they do, by making us " Something Else " as we are... I love it...
"We respect Mother Earth." ~ Allie Young *Thank you, Allie!
Thank you Allie Young!
Thank you for all that you made possible! :)
Native Americans this is your land first!!!
Indeed and we livestrong upon this land and are still here...Blessings
I live in Arizona and thank you Indian country for voting 😎😎😎😎😎
That's a damn shame! The original people of this continent are not even named in the survey! We owe the Native Americans a lot, and I hope that one day we can truly make amends.
The Native Americans are fed up with everything going on. I am glad so many turned out to vote for Joe Biden. You cannot count on CNN, CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC to tell the truth.
What Allie said about "horse medicine" is absolutely true.
I love my native american sisters and brothers and I'm glad they're given space here to talk. 🤟 this land was taken by our white and foreign ancestors and still today, your lives and culture are threatened. 🗺️❤️
❤️❤️
Blessings on your kind heart and know your words hold power....

Movement as medicine, ALWAYS 🤘🏽✊🏽❤️🕉
“Something Else” is so incredibly offensive and WRONG.
I as a Full-blood take it in a different tone in that we are " Something Else " and turn these words to a positive...Blessings
@@ravennelson827 ok, I agree that it can be turned into a positive. I took offense as 'something' is non-living and its unacceptable in reference to people. I do like the positive spin. Stay healthy and safe.
@@maribelvalentin9277 Stay strong stay thinking and I pray a ten-fold blessing on you and your's...
The REAL Americans are 'SOMETHING ELSE.'...LOL!
Indeed I love it as a full-blood aboriginal , we are " something Else " LOL
We need to help them .more God bless America
Biden helped them before for 47years . That's why we elected him . What you mean ? C'mon man . You know that .
Another amazing woman who I hope to see running for political office!
God bless
I wish you peace and strength
May your wish come thru strong and I pray a ten-fold blessing back at you my friend....4- we are " Something Else "
Well said Allie Young! Your voice is like music in my ears 👂.
We all know this land belongs to Native Americans your Black family could never forget you are still here May God bless you all and increase your numbers and take your rightful place in this country!!!
Well speaking for yourself these native Siberian American and native African American Charlize Theron and Elon Musk these people are something else anybody that don't have a conscious are so soul don't belong creator of the universe is cleaning up this place including me and everyone
First Nations in the Americas ✊😷
As Indians say, "When the last fish is caught and the last tree is caught, you will learn money cannot be eaten,. 16 Cherokee and proud of it.1
You claim to be part cherokee but refer to native americans as "indians"? Lol okay
As I recognize all the tribes of Canada, Mexico Central America, and South Amrivcsm where I taught tyonddyrt fleeing fom the actiond by th\e US military arming governments to annihilate them, I still remember Archpiship Romero being being shot throough the heart on March 4 as he was saying mass in Al Salvador. Those tfifth graders were an inspiration to the Katino communisty of Houston. I;ll bet you never opened your mouth about the suffering they went through.
Yes, excellent! To the great Native Tribes of America, I must thank you all for protecting and fighting to save "The Great Mother Earth", democracy, and your legacy! All people of the American land must come together and peacefully protest and fight to protect Earth from pollution and the raping of our sacred land and drinking water. We together, all ethnicities, all Americans must do our part.
Great reminder of our native brothers contributions to politics ,and the importance of mother nature, great show ,.......
As always, Amy & Juan You continue to bring the Truth... You are truly an Inspiration.
Advise me, how I can help our future leaders to succeed? These young woman are Warriors!
Thumbs way up for native America
Thank you Jodi , and Allie ❤🥰😷
Thanks for asking questions that matter Linda!
THANK YOU FOR THIS INTERVIEW
Thank you for sharing that Allie; it was beautiful. Great work.
Excellent reporting Amy.
Thank you always
Native Americans like all groups aren’t a monolith.
Well done and First Nation, please stand up!!!
As an old white guy I am so proud of the native americans for standing up here and all the good work they have been doing. I have been embarrassed for all of my life for your people and the black americans so mistreated. I ended up moving out of the US in protest25 years ago. My son is in Flagstaff and voted with your people.
The recognition that Mr. Juan González wanted to use as a justification regarding the phrase "something else" was not appreciated by Mrs. Jodi Archambault because it is not justifiable. I am sure that Mr. González would not have liked it if it had been towards Latinos. Respect and you will be respected, the good for you must be the good for everyone.
Allie Young should be commended for her hard work, the younger generation are our future. Thank you for all you and your colleagues have accomplished
Animal agriculture plays a large part in planetary degradation.
Much less than human occupation.
I was born in this land, I am of this land. And I will protect the life of this land. That's what a native does.
Thank you 🌟
grateful that democracy now gives Native/Indigenous people visibility and a platform
It will be something else when evil people loose all their power and become the minority.. That's Something Else ✊🏾🙏🏽✊🏾
It's time for indigenous communities to reclaim thier place in this country through the electoral process. It will never make up for the endless sins against them, but it's a start to grow power for their communities.
I'm proud to be part of 'the something else'!❤
We need more of you in Congress. This is your land.
Race is a social construct. Tracking ethnicity would require a lot more boxes.
@Madison. Most of them don't "get" it.
@Ladybug Laff cool comment
@Ladybug Laff. Young girl, there are no significant anatomical differences between human people groups that would warrant classifying group A in one species & group B in another. You DO comprehend that Charles Darwin FLUNKED OUT of medical college - right?
When you read Darwin's actual writings... even HE acknowledged that there were holes & missing pieces in his classification system & "evolution" hypothesis.
@Ladybug Laff Yikes -- your advanced forensic anthro course is about 110 years out of date.
This topic of "race" has historically been an endeavor of euro-albino pseudo-scholars rambling in their effort to create a classification system that placed euro-albino human mutants at the top of said classification scheme.
Furthermore... They couldn't even agree on the number of so-called "human races."
In "The Descent of Man," Darwin noted the great difficulty naturalists had in trying to decide how many "races" there actually were:
"Man has been studied more carefully than any other animal, and yet there is the greatest possible diversity amongst capable judges whether he should be classed as a single species or race, or as two (Virey), as three (Jacquinot), as four (Kant), five (Blumenbach), six (Buffon), seven (Hunter), eight (Agassiz), eleven (Pickering), fifteen (Bory St. Vincent), sixteen (Desmoulins), twenty-two (Morton), sixty (Crawfurd), or as sixty-three, according to Burke. This diversity of judgment does not prove that the races ought not to be ranked as species, but it shews that they graduate into each other, and that it is hardly possible to discover clear distinctive characters between them."

When superiority is the goal we have a serious problem?
👍👍👍Talking about ," learning something new every day ". I have often wondered WHERE ARE OUR NATIVE AMERICANS IN THIS POLITICAL ARENA & HOW THEY RULED ON T***PISM. MY QUESTIONS GOT ANSWERED DURING OUR BLACK FAMILY HOLIDAY DINNER THIS YEAR. THANK YOU ONE MILLION TIMES.✌✌✌
That is hysterical! Wow huh?
Native North Americans need to learn from Evo Morales and all the South American Native
like what?
As Native Americans, we are not victims. We know who we are, we are here to stay.
I see you. I always look for native voices, they are the most relevant
Hola, from 💛NM❤!
I walked 12 feet to my mailbox to vote. She rallied the (understandably) disenchanted youth of a nation that covers 27,000 square miles, to ride horses across a desert, to vote. Now THAT really IS something else!
We should listen with respect to our Native American Siblings. They have a lot to teach us, they understand the Environmental laws and kept America pristine for thousands of years, we polluted it in 400.
Say it. The word is Genocide.
"I went to bed indigenous, i woke up Something Else".
Do not allow this labels to influence your consciousness.
This language is designed to take your soul power away from you.
The cover photo for this video is breathtaking. Inspiring and powerful on a godly level.
This is a very good fact based video. I like fact based information in this video
Allie will be put on the FBI list for standing up for her peoples rights.
The Native American's are the Noblest people's in the America's Mother Earth is paramount ,to be as One with Nature,a proud and honourable Tribal People's.
Do just like everybody else people they do wrong and they do right
It saddens me what Native Americans went through. It’s funny how Europeans introduced the horse to North America, but Native Americans mastered the ride.
Thank you, DN!
What's sad is...we go to other countries and dig wells for water!!!
Yet...here we have communities with NO WATER!!!
I know wells have dried out...but alot more CAN be done!!!🙏
Horseback riding is cultural appropriation.
I'm native now voting Republican 😮
Sat it. The word is GENOCIDE.
Native Americans, we have your back. The black correlation.
💗
Native Americans should get like a 1000 vote per person powered-up voting schema. Least we could do.
I was amazed that you did nothing is posible ty.
God bless our Native-Americans for their sacrifices... hope Biden will take their unrelenting effort to help him win Arizona into account.
"YOU TALKIN TO ME, JULIE!?"
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Anyone who wants a govt. OF the people and not AT the people needed to get the autocrat out of the WH.
Biden received most of his funding from the big banks and had the backing of the elite. He is not for the people
@@phantomcreamer Propaganda lies
@@dreamlife2351 Are you serious? You clearly haven't done any research and just accuse me of lying. Shame on you
Truth 10,009 BC
She said, "mainstream media had a tendency to leave out the full picture " an absolute fact. But left wing/progressive media on line outlets are also share the same complaint/fact. One being TYT the biggest online independent progresive news outlet. I'm not sure why Amy cute Jodi of.
💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗🌹💗
native for trump !
She looks like a girl from Himalayas of Nepal
Stop watching main stream media n choose the policies that effect you and yours.
this did not age well
If your native American what your flag look like . This is my land turtle island
The alliance of DN with the legacy media, intelligence communities, and finance is very concerning to me.
Never sit out an election, trump presidency proved that.
AHO Dine!
Sorry but they weren't called something else, they where out in that category probably due to low population...
Voting socialism is a slap in the face to Indian ancestors. How depressing.
Horse medicine
I dont want to offend anyone but I was sure horses ware imported to America...
Wrong
Stay strong and resilient, you will survive the coming catastrophes. But don't expect any help from Joe and Kamala. They view your value system a threat to their predatory/crony capitalism
What the heck is latinex
Latinx:
Saying "LatinOs" is MASCULINE plural. And "LatinAs"would leave males out. We try to be non- sexist.
First, that is your interpretation. Second there was no such thing as “masculine” when used in the English language, the Spanish language is Latinas, maybe you should be also using that. Beside we are Hispanics, Latin is for those countries that are in South America that speak another language other than Spanish.
FIRST! Who is Native American or “true” Native American ? The 5 dollar Indian, native Indian mix with Spain/ Portugal ancestors and or black/ cooper American Aborigines . There are people of color with indigenous ancestors who call themselves black/ “African” American or Latino not indigenous/ Native American .
Go away hatful troll
These people are native to Siberia yes they are something else they came and killed the original people off and took their place these people are something else
Yeah, thank god for that big native American vote. Lol.
Go away hateful TROLL
