Voices of Sovereignty PodcastThe Indian Citizenship Act: A Legacy Still UnfoldingOn this episode of Voices of Sovereignty, the Rock The Native Vote team sits down with Emily Eleftherakis to discuss the lasting impact of the Indian Citizenship Act. More than a century after the Act was signed on June 2, 1924, Native communities continue to navigate the complex history of citizenship, voting rights, and tribal sovereignty. Emily shares historical context, legal insights, and why this landmark legislation still matters today. Join us as we reflect on this important anniversary and explore the ongoing work of protecting and expanding Native civic participation.
What do Tribal IDs prove?
In this episode, Rock The Native Vote takes a closer look at a critical and often misunderstood issue: what Tribal IDs actually prove and what they do not. Joined by legal expert Emily Eleftherakis (Cherokee), executive director of the Tribal Sovereignty Institute at OCU School of Law, and Comanche Nation Enrollment Director JD Wauqua, we unpack the reality that Tribal IDs do not verify U.S. citizenship, despite widespread assumptions in our communities.
We also explore the potential impact of the SAVE Act on voter registration, particularly for Native voters, and discuss the broader challenges Tribal citizens may face when navigating identification requirements. |
