For many who uphold values of democratic inclusion, the vote is seen as the "gold standard" of civil rights. Numerous movements throughout the history of the United States have fought for full enfranchisement. But what if the act of voting endangers community sovereignty and self-government? This talk will explore how Pueblo Indians in New Mexico during the territorial period (1846–1912) fought against colonial mandates by the United States, rejecting voting and U.S. citizenship in favor of self-determination.
