Cherokee Chief calls out ‘racist’ Trump

You guessed it: it has to do with Donald Trump’s racist name-calling targeting Elizabeth Warren. The comment came during an interview now on Youtube.
Indian Country Today reports an unprecedented number of Native Americans running for office this year, and the Obama administration has made miraculous strides working with leaders to promote programs that are unique to each tribal nation. For the Cherokees, Baker hopes this means more of the same kind of outreach by other presidents in the future. Like many cities still struggling to get back on stable economic footing, Cherokee lands have the same needs as far as establishing good schools and the need to repair roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
“We opened up joint ventures for Indian Health Service, we hope they’ll do the same for education as well so that maybe we can invest in our schools to make education better for our kids,” Baker said. “We’re hoping that there will be infrastructure dollars that we can certainly make use of.”
