Friend,      For the first time in 233 years, we have Native American, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian representatives in the United States House of Representatives : Tom Cole (Chickasaw) Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk) Yvette Herrell (Cherokee) Kaiali’I Kahele (Native Hawaiian) Markwayne Mullin (Cherokee) Mary Peltola (Native Alaskan)   We can’t overstate how long overdue this is. After centuries of disenfranchisement, there are now six Indigenous Americans walking the halls of power ! When we know our history, we know our truth. So, as we acknowledge this accomplishment, we also acknowledge the many historical and contemporary contributions Indigenous people have made and continue to make in society. Hip Hop Caucus is proud to join the Indigenous community as we carry on the legacy of honoring our earth, protecting our children, and making our voices heard. The presence of these Indigenous representatives in the House shines as a beacon of how far we’ve come and highlights the promise of a brighter future in which Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities have a seat at the table and a say in their government.   For future generations,      Rev Yearwood President & CEO Hip Hop Caucus.
