In 2008, American Indians made historic strides in local democratic conventions across the country. As a DNC at-large member, I have the privilege of serving as a superdelegate at the 2008 national convention this coming August in Denver. Superdelegate and friend of INDN's List Frank LaMere (Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska) will join me and Superdelegate Margarett Campbell (Assiniboine) at the convention, where we will join Indians from across the U.S. to make history.

As the only three American Indian superdelegates, Margarett, Frank and I will work to amplify the voice of Indian Country and help select the best Democratic presidential candidate for all of us. Together with all American Indian delegates, "We will," in Frank's words, "have an opportunity to tell those leaders how things could and should be in Indian Country."
