US-POLITICS-VOTE-INDIGENOUS

Indigenous peoples of the Americas dance and perform rituals as they attend a cultural meeting at the Comanche Nation fairgrounds in Lawton, Oklahoma on September 30, 2023. After Alaska, Oklahoma is the US state with the most Native Americans of voting age -- 12 percent of the population, according to government census statistics. While Rock The Native Vote, an association that encourages the Native American community to go to the polls, has seen an increase in the number of Native Americans registering to vote since the 2020 presidential election, overall voter turnout remains low.
