Join Levi Rickert, founder of Native News Online, as he interviews California Assemblyman James C. Ramos (D) about his thoughts on the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, also known as the Snyder Act.
We're thrilled to have Assemblyman Ramos, the only Native American currently serving in the California State Assembly, as our special guest. Don't miss this opportunity to hear from the former tribal chairman of the San Manuel Tribe as we commemorate this occasion.
Assemblymember Ramos, a member of the Serrano/Cahuilla tribe, is the first California Native American state lawmaker. He represents the 45th District, chairs the Assembly Budget Subcommittee #6 and the California Legislative Native American Caucus, and has a background in education, business, and public service. He is also a former Chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
Tune in to Native Bidaské LIVE this Friday, June 21st 12 Noon ET on Native News Online's Facebook, X (Twitter), or YouTube channel.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?
Our mission draws from the warrior spirit that has sustained Indigenous peoples for generations — the same spirit that drives us to stand guard over tribal rights through relentless investigation and fearless reporting.
Sovereignty isn't just a concept – it's the foundation of Native nations' right to govern, protect our lands, and preserve our cultures. Every story we publish strengthens tribal sovereignty.
Unlike mainstream media, we center Indigenous voices and report directly from Native communities. When we cover land rights, water protection, or tribal governance, we're not just sharing news – we're documenting our living history and defending our future.
Our journalism is powered by readers, not shareholders. If you believe in the importance of Native-led media in protecting tribal sovereignty, consider supporting our work today.
