Native Vote 2024. Four Directions - Native Vote, along with the Coalition of Large Tribes (COLT), and the 28 Nevada tribal nations will host a voters forum in Las Vegas on Friday, September 13 and Saturday, September 14 to engage Native voters to get involved with the upcoming presidential election.
Later this fall, Four Directions will host two additional voter forums in Arizona and Wisconsin this fall (see below).
The forums bring candidates, policymakers, and tribal leaders and Native voters together to discuss some of the most important issues to Native people.
Nevada, Arizona, and Wisconsin are three of seven states that Four Directions Native Vote has identified as being states where the Native vote can make a difference.
“Four Directions Native Vote realizes the importance of our vote in Nevada, Arizona, and Wisconsin where the Native Voting Age Population is equal to or greater than what candidates have won by, so the Native vote can be the deciding factor in who is elected.” O.J. Semans, co-director of Four Directions Native Vote said to Native News Online.
The other four states include Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?
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.
Right now, your support goes twice as far. Thanks to a generous $35,000 matching fund, every dollar you give during December 2024 will be doubled to protect sovereignty and amplify Native voices.
No paywalls. No corporate owners. Just independent, Indigenous journalism.
