Stanford Law's Elizabeth Hidalgo Reese Yunpoví on the Struggle for Native American Voting Rights
Join us for an insightful session with Elizabeth Hidalgo Reese Yunpoví (Tewa: Willow Flower), a leading expert in American Indian tribal law. In her talk at the Native American Suffrage Symposium, Reese explores the relationship between tribal nations and U.S. political institutions, highlighting how historical policies have denied Native Americans fundamental rights, including the right to vote.
Reese questions why tribal governments are excluded from the U.S. democratic framework and advocates for their rightful representation. Her analysis offers a fresh perspective on integrating tribal nations into the constitutional order, making this a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of identity, race, citizenship, and government structure.
