I am really glad as a man that she put out this "ad", what I do not understand, is to why she did not have a Indigenous woman in that piece, I know I am being picky, but...................is it just me and my culture, my heritage that we are hardly ever represented or spoken about.

I am just wondering, because, in the Sanders endorsements and in some of the Indigenous culture he has gotten and placed qualified people on his team, and has actively been seeking this support, this speaks volumes of how someone is trying to bring us in for inclusiveness, to truly solve the issues on the reservation and in the culture-----------------this speaks volumes in my opinion, and that is why when I saw this "ad", I said to myself, Clinton, lost another great opportunity, or is it just me?
