Rocky Mountain NCAI Region
NATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDIANS POLICY RESEARCH CENTER October 30, 2020 Research Policy Update Native Vote Regional Report: Rocky Mountain Region The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Native Vote initiative is a nonpartisan effort to promote American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) voter engagement throughout Indian Country. The purpose of this report is to share bi-weekly updates on the status of competitive elections during the 2020 election cycle for states in each NCAI region where turnout of the Native Vote may make a difference. NCAI Rocky Mountain Region – Voting Age Population For the 2020 election cycle, a number of close races have the potential to be impacted by the number of voting age AI/ANs who vote, especially if they are a significant percentage of the total population in the state. The NCAI Rocky Mountain Region includes the states of Montana and Wyoming, and 10 federally recognized tribal nations have land located within the two states. For the states in the Rocky Mountain Region, the AI/AN voting age population number and percentage of the overall population for each of the states are shown in Table 1. Table 1: AI/AN Voting Age Statewide Population Percentage for States in the Rocky Mountain Region State 2019 State Total 2019 AI/AN State AI/AN Voting Age Voting Age Total Voting Age Population Population Population Percentage of State Estimates Estimates Population Montana 840,190 58,130 6.92% Wyoming 445,025 14,469 3.25% Source: 2019 Census Bureau, 2019 Population Estimates, Tables SCPRC-EST2019-18+POP-RES and SC-EST2019-ALLDATA5.

Journal 4693 (PDF)
Journal #4693 from sdc 6.4.20 Anguish and action From Senator Catherine Cortez-Maesto Recreate the Stamp Challenge from Cosmos: Possible Worlds EPA makes 'contorted' legal argument for permit rule 6 tips for becoming a youth activist (as told by a youth activist) Mask Reminder Voting Reminder 4 Native candidates for Congress advance to November Scholarships with July 1-15 Deadlines Gerald Warren “Rocky” Allen, Jr https://www.obama.org/anguish-and-action/ ****************************************************************************** From Senator Catherine Cortz-Maesto As I reﬂect on the last week or so, I sit here writing to you with heartbreak, anger and immense frustration. Of course, I know I am but one of the tens of millions of Americans feeling the exact same thing. What happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis; Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky; Ahmaud Arbery in Satilla Shores, Georgia – and countless other black Americans – is heinous and unacceptable. As a country, we can no longer let this brutality continue. Racism is far too pervasive in America. And the prejudice and hate that stems from it is dangerous, wrong and deeply disturbing. Yet, it’s also plagued our country for generations. But now, our country has clearly reached a long overdue tipping point – and turning point. No longer can our response to racism – and the killings of black Americans in our streets, including murder by those sworn to protect us – be indifference or apathy. And more than anything – our response cannot be inaction. What we’ve been seeing play out across cities and townships throughout the country these last nine days are Americans taking to the streets speaking out to say they’ve had enough of the status quo.
