First let me remind people that Native people are not characters to be mocked even for Halloween. Just don't do it!

It was recently said that for the first time in 230 years Congress will have full indigenous representation. No! Not even close. If a Native person is successful at gaining enough white support to get elected, it's those people that they represent. Their loyalty is with party and the people who elected them, NOT with Native peoples who they may be related to.
