NEW: An analysis by Common Cause Oregon, Tribal Democracy Project, and the National Congress of American Indians investigates the impact of this redistricting cycle on American Indian/Alaska Native communities & Tribal Nations across the country.
The report highlights the challenges and successes of the redistricting cycle from the perspective of Native community leaders and organizers, points to lessons learned, and offers the following recommendations for the future:
- Resourcing Native-led organizing — early and often — throughout both the Census and redistricting processes.
- Ensuring that the Census Bureau remedies the severe undercount of Native Americans by engaging with Tribal Nations and Native American community leaders as early as possible to design more effective outreach.
- Recognizing tribal sovereignty by legally requiring comprehensive outreach to and input from Tribal Nations in the redistricting processes.
- Ensuring tribal and Native community input in the redistricting process.
- Expanding broadband access.
