The Indian Gaming Association was proud to bring our Native Vote 2026 outreach campaign to the Women Empowering Women for Indigenous Nations (WEWIN) Conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This photo captures more than a group. It reflects the strength of Native women, Tribal leaders, families, and future generations standing together with a shared commitment to protecting Tribal sovereignty and ensuring Native voices are heard at every level.

As we look toward the 2026 election, we encourage every eligible Native voter to register, stay informed, know your rights, know your candidates, and make a plan to vote. Every voice strengthens our Tribal Nations, and every vote helps shape our future.

Thank you to WEWIN for your partnership and your continued leadership in empowering Native women and communities across Indian Country.

Today, during Women’s History Month, I lift up the strength, resilience, and sacred power of Native women.

From time immemorial, we have carried our nations forward as life givers, water protectors, knowledge keepers, language bearers, leaders, and healers. Long before the world recognized the value of women’s leadership, our grandmothers were governing, stewarding the land, raising warriors, negotiating peace, and sustaining our cultures through the hardest of times.

We have endured unimaginable loss of land, children, language, and life - yet we are still here! We continue to protect the water. We continue to defend sovereignty. We continue to teach our young people who they are and where they come from.

We honor the grandmothers whose prayers still guide us.We honor the mothers who hold families and communities together.We honor the daughters who are reclaiming language, culture, and ceremony.We honor the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women whose lives matter and whose spirits call us to action.

We are not just part of history we are the heartbeat of our future.

May we walk in strength.May we speak with courage.May we lead with wisdom.
