The president of the Navajo Nation, one of the largest Native American tribes in the U.S., has removed responsibilities from his vice president.

Across America, it is altogether too hard for Native Americans to vote. They often must go off-reservation and travel outrageous distances to reach voting services. Many do not have home addresses or mail delivery, making registering and receiving a ballot difficult, if not impossible. Native Americans still face racial discrimination and hostilities when casting their ballots. NARF, in collaboration with Native American advocates across the country, have extensively documented these barriers and are fighting every day against this discrimination.

Vice President Kamala Harris visited the Gila River Indian Community Thursday. She addressed disparities facing Native communities.
