Peer Comment: Indigenous Voter Suppression

Hi, I think that this is such a fascinating topic, especially with all the commotion around voting in political discourse in the United States. More on the Indigenous populations in America - how do their voting situation compare to that of Canada's? Personally, I am not too familiar with Indigenous history in the US, so this would be really interesting if you could include it somewhere in your article! Has there ever been specific legislature that suppressed Indigenous voting patterns in America? If so, were they overtly discriminatory against Indigenous voting rights, or were they more subtle and strategic (e.g. Gerrymandering tactics)? I think that this subpopulation group can be analyzed using an intersectional gaze while combining it with elements of class. You often hear about Black Americans and their voting rights, but Indigenous voting rights doesn't seem like that much of a hot topic (at least from up here in Canada).

Hi, thanks for your suggestions!

I included a specific section on gerrymandering because I think it can play a big role on voter suppression for many different groups - especially race and class
