[audio mp3="https://www.nv1.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Nevada.mp3"][/audio] So far voters have had a chance to weigh in on presidential candidates with both a caucus — in Iowa — and a primary in New Hampshire.

Except for one precinct in Iowa there has not been a lot of reason to court Native American voters. Iowa's Native American population is 1/2 of 1 percent. New Hampshire is 2/10th of one percent. These states do not look like the rest of the country. But Nevada, where Democrats will caucus on Feb. 20, is even more diverse than the rest of the country. And both campaigns hope Native Americans will give them support. Read transcript [audio mp3="https://www.nv1.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/OntoNevada.mp3"][/audio]

[audio mp3="https://www.nv1.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IowaC.mp3"][/audio] The presidential campaign has officially begun as Iowa holds its caucus meetings.

Low oil prices make it easier for families to fill their tanks. That’s good for people but some tribes and Alaska Native corporations are energy producers and that means less money for government services or local jobs. But there is another aspect to low oil prices: It could help transition energy away from fossil fuels to the next framework.

Indian Country does not always agree on issues. The debate about the extraction of natural resources is a clear example where Native people come down on all sides of the issue. But when it comes to coal, tribal bets are coming at a bad time. Markets are not going to suddenly come back for coal -- and the rest of the world has already decided one a different future for energy.

Don’t be misled by national polls. The election of the president is about which candidate can win the most states through the Electoral College. And that’s where a demographic shift has been occurring. So much so that the road to the White House is Red, Brown, Black and Young.

Compromise is a dirty word in some circles. But on Capitol Hill, Democrats and Republicans are doing just that passing next year’s budget without fanfare or drama.

Pope Francis speaking in the Congress. Oh his way to the chamber, the pontiff stopped to bless a statue of Junipero Serra, a controversial Spanish missionary. (House of Representatives photo)   https://www.nv1.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/SerraClean.mp3 Pope Francis spent the week in the United States — and in a solemn ceremony named Father Junipero Serra a saint.

The pope went on top praise Serra's treatment of Native people, saying the missionary “sought to defend the dignity of the native community, to protect it from those who had mistreated and abused it. Mistreatment and wrongs which today still trouble us, especially because of the hurt which they cause in the lives of many people.” But that’s where the historical record is hard to reconcile with the story of Serra as a saint. Many American Indians — especially those from California — say how can any “saint” be a part of such a brutal regime. Indeed, the numbers of dead California Nativ
