OR
“Do you think if a party gets 39% of the vote they should get roughly 39% of the seats?”
Then let us know what they say!

From Wounded Knee to the United Nations
Rob Albritton interviews Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States (Boston: Beacon Press, 2014) presents a much needed history of the United States as a settler colonial-state from the perspective of Indigenous Peoples.
