Description
Based on his research involving the Skagit River Tribe (approximately 540 band members) in what is now Washington state, the author offers anthropological analysis on the gender gap in political engagement surrounding Indigenous tribal council elections, and compares it to contemporary (1980s – 1990s) mainstream political engagement in the United States.
