Indigenous Rights (a small victory)

Lightning is striking and we're about to shut off the power switch that includes the router, so this will be brief. The Federal Government announced today that the Native American Tribal Card issued by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe to its members is as an acceptable form of identity and citizenship for travel in the Western Hemisphere. This is great because it recognizes - in part - a tribe's sovereignty. Tribal identification often is not an acceptable form of identification or citizenship. Thus, because Native Americans do not have U.S. passports, Native Americans have no acceptable form of identification or citizenship and are not able to travel outside U.S borders.
