Online I live around "Natives".
And I also knew majority voted for Trump(hell even sent their tribe during inauguration)most was in denial of his ways until this incident.
Those who still pro Trump getting shamed, when in reality they should be ashamed of themselves for helping keeping our county red majority of my life.

You talking bout a pretty small minority of natives though.

Native Americans get out the vote

And they stil keeping my county red and I was talking about where I live where they are the majority.

Can you give receipts for the county where Native Americans are the ones keeping it red?

Heck, I realized there are only a few majority-Native counties in the USA. You can look up the voting results for every one:

Owing to its strongly Native American population, Apache County votes solidly Democratic.

Big Horn County is generally Democratic, owing largely to its majority Native American population. It is distinguished from most other counties in rural Montana, which trend Republican.

Owing largely to its majority Native American population, Glacier County generally votes Democratic, in contrast with most other rural Montana counties, which trend Republican.

Roosevelt County voters have selected the Democratic Party candidate in 70% of the last ten national elections.

In 2004, Thurston, a majority-Native American county, was the only one in Nebraska with a majority voting for the Democratic Party presidential candidate, John Kerry.[citation needed]

Voter interest was high, and the 2008 presidential election was preceded by a major voter registration drive.[citation needed] The majority of voters in Thurston County voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama, making the county one of four such in the state. In the 2012 presidential election, Thurston was the only Nebraska county that voted for Obama in his successful re-election bid.[12]

In presidential elections, Menominee County has always voted for the Democratic candidate and always by a higher percentage than all other Wisconsin counties.

Probably due to its Native American majority population, Rolette County voters are historically Democratic, more consistently so than other such counties in North Dakota. Since 1928 the only Republican to carry the county was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952.[17] It was the only county in the state to support George McGovern in 1972 and is additionally the only North Dakota county to have supported Jimmy Carterin 1980.[18] In each of the five presidential elections from 1996 to 2012, the Democratic candidate received over 60% of the vote, with Barack Obama winning 75.1% in 2008 and 74.0% in 2012.[19][20] In 2016, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton received 57.3% of the county's votes,[21] one of the two North Dakota counties that she carried.

With its population being mostly Native American, Sioux County is one of the most consistently Democratic counties in North Dakota, having last backed a Republican presidential candidate in 1980. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the votes in Sioux County, one of only two counties she won in the state.

Bennett is a solidly Republican county in Presidential elections. It has not been carried by a Democratic Presidential nominee since Lyndon Johnson’s landslide of 1964, although vis-à-vis most West River counties it has a sizeable Democratic vote due to its substantial Native American population

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the votes in Buffalo County due to support from Native Americans. Democratic Party nominees have won every presidential election since 1956 except the 1980 and 1984 elections which Ronald Reagan won.

Like Ziebach County, and unlike the arch-Republican white West River counties, Corson is a competitive, fluctuating swing county. It voted Democratic in the three elections from 2004 to 2012 – doing so by over twenty percentage points for Barack Obama in 2008 – but as with most Native American counties there was a substantial swing against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Owing to its Native American majority population, Dewey has since the 1990s been a strongly Democratic county in solidly Republican South Dakota.

Like most of South Dakota, Mellette County is solidly Republican. It has not been carried by a Democrat since Lyndon Johnson’s 1964 landslide, although Barack Obama came within six votes of doing so in the 2012 election.

The counties surrounding Oglala Lakota County are predominantly Republican, but, like most Native American counties, Oglala Lakota is heavily Democratic, giving over 75 percent of the vote to every Democratic presidential nominee in every election back to 1984, making it one of the most Democratic counties in the United States.

Like Most Native American Counties, Hillary Clinton won the majority of votes in Todd County in 2016. The last election in which the Republican nominee was in 1960 which the Richard Nixon-Henry Cabot Lodge ticket carried the county.

Ziebach County has traditionally been a swing county. Only Ronald Reagan in 1980 and Barack Obama in 2008 have topped sixty percent for either major party in the past six decades.

San Juan County has not supported a Democrat for president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936. However the county is slightly more competitive at the state level due to its high Native American population, who lean Democratic, and the comparatively small Mormon population which leans Republican, as well its economic distress. Notably, San Juan voted for the Democratic candidates in the 1988 and 2000 gubernatorial elections, both of which Republicans won. The area also votes less Republican than the rest of Utah in national elections

That's literally every majority-native county in the USA. Unless you live in some Alaskan borough or census area, it looks like you were making shyt up.

How Donald Trump Won America’s Most Racially Diverse Rural County - THE RACE TO 2020

You said they were the majority.

Members of the state-recognized Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, make up most of the 38 percent of the population who identify as Native American.

And you claimed they'd been keeping the country red most of your life when Robeson County had gone Democrat for at least seven straight elections before 2016. Even your own damn link said the county is heavily Democratic.

Phillip Stephens, chairman of the local Republican Party, noted that the county has been slowly turning Republican for the past decade. At one point, registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans 9-to-1. Today the ratio has been cut to 2-to-1.

And it turns out they're not even a recognized Native American tribe:

The U.S. Senate has yet to vote on whether to grant the Lumbees federal tribal recognition. That status could mean federal dollars for housing, education and health benefits. The Lumbees claim to be the largest tribe east of the Mississippi River, but other tribes do not consider them Native Americans.

Lumbees consider themselves descendants of Native American tribes who lived in North Carolina centuries ago. But unlike Indians in more isolated parts of the country, the Lumbees say their ancestors assimilated early with people of European and African descent, learning English, practicing Christianity, and sometimes inter-marrying. Today, while Lumbees have a strong Native American identity, some historians question their connection to those tribes of the past and the federal government doesn't recognize them as a tribe of their own.

Cherokee Chief Michell Hicks says the Lumbees have a dubious Indian birthright, with no language, land base or sovereign government of their own.

Mr. MICHELL HICKS (Chief, Cherokee Indian): The research that we've seen by professionals in this field are showing doubts that Indian descent, you know, really exist. You can't just say it. And you can't just create a tribe. I mean, there is no question about the Cherokee people. But with the Lumbee issue, you know, it's a different story.

Basically, you happen to be next to the ONE Trump-supporting Tribe in the country, they're not the majority in your county, they're deeply White-mixed and aren't even recognized as Indians by other tribes, and the whole thing about them keeping the county red for most of your life was total .

You right bruh you live here so you know whats up.

Whelp, I may not live there but even someone who does isn't able to go door-to-door and ask 40,000+ people how they voted. Thankfully, they have official "vote tallies" that do that work for you and spread the information out to the whole internet.

old thread but...

The Cherokee nation is the biggest tribe in the US, The Chactaw nation is third...2 tribes that have the largest memberships in the country publicly shunned/expelled their black members...how was he wrong?

...those indian tribal leaders are really pred white people with very little amerindian dna. They often look like this

As the head of the largest branch of the Cherokee nation from 1828 to 1866, John Ross led the Cherokee through a period of profound cultural change. Under Ross's leadership, the Cherokee nation engaged in a historic and controversial legal battle to preserve their sovereignty and underwent a disastrous forced march from Georgia to Oklahoma.

Ross was born near Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, on October 3, 1790. Although he was only one-eighth Cherokee by blood, Cherokee cultural identity in the early 1800s was as much a matter of upbringing and choice as genetics, and Ross was raised and considered himself a Cherokee.

In 1809 at age nineteen, Ross was sent, at the behest of both U.S. officials and Cherokee leaders, to confer with the western Cherokee, who had accepted payments from the United States

in exchange for an agreement to relocate to Oklahoma. Ross's quiet and reserved manner inspired confidence among both whites and Indians, and his skill at easing the tensions with the western Cherokee greatly increased his influence within the Cherokee nation.

Ross served as President of the National Council of the Cherokee from 1819 to 1826 and became principal chief of the eastern Cherokee in 1828. He thought the Cherokee could benefit from adopting certain aspects of European-American culture. Accordingly, with the help of two other Cherokee leaders, Major Ridge and Charles Hicks, Ross convinced many Cherokee to convert from an economy based on hunting and the fur trade to one of agriculture. Some Cherokee adopted the Southern tradition of

slave-holding. By the 1830s many members of the Cherokee nation were among the wealthiest individuals in what is now north Georgia. Ross himself was a slaveholder with a two hundred–acre farm.
