I love his coalition. As he moves west, native Americans will be delighted to be included in a campaign. Talk about a minority group that's invisible.

so impressed with the quality of the women who are stepping forth to work with Bernie for real change. Symone Sanders. Nina Turner. Tulsi Gabbard. Now the impressive debut of Tara Houska. We are seeing the emergence of the next generation of progressive Democratic Party leaders right before our eyes.

This is history! Bernie is helping younger people get experience in revolutionizing. And is bringing them from what have been, historically, forgotten people.

I am Cherokee. I have to send out the word, and then do more research!

Thank you so much for sharing this!

there are no records thanks the white side of my family, I too have Cherockee blood. So I am thrilled that the First Nations are getting their just dues...

I live in Canada now, and our new PM unlike the idiot before him, is very supportive of First Nations...

you're experiencing Canadian culture? I've lived in Canada for 25 years now and I love the natural beauty and the tolerant culture. We have work to do to overcome 10 years of conservative rule preceded by 10 years of neo-liberal rule. But it is still a wonderful country. But it would be cool to read your take on similarities and differences between U.S. and Canadian culture.

FREEDOM!

I know, that is really pretty simple...but I have NEVER felt so free in my entire life. I am Pagan, I can not only wear my Pentagram with out worry or fear, but I get complements on it from strangers. I now belong to a UU Church and if you had told me a few years ago I would be a "Church Lady" I would have said you were nuts, but I have been embraced... loved. I now lead one of the largest UU Pagan Circle in the area at the Church... and I am now a Service Leader.

I worked at the corporate level of Healthcare in the US. I wrote about my Canadian expericnes with the Healhtcare system at DKOS when my husband had a stroke several years ago. You can find it here. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/06/22/745445/--Socialized-Healthcare-...

as he evolves in this process. I don't think he is the same man as the one who started this campaign. It isn't what he'd like to see happen; I think now he sees how possible it is.

this was just confirmation of the broadening we all need to experience.

it's about good leadership and the Mr. Trudeau strikes me as one . . .
