Historic “Prez on the Rez” forum in Jeopardy.

Due to a conflict over tribal sovereignty, Democratic Presidential candidates are being pressured to skip this event by the labor unions trying to organize in California casinos.

This historic event will be held on the reservation of the Morongo Band of Missions.  They operate a casino west of Palm Springs.

The forum will feature issues relevant to Native Americans and will give the Democratic candiates an opportunity to interact with leaders from Tribes around the country.

This event is being organized in part by Kayln Free, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma as well as the DNC.  She has stated that if the Democratic candidates will not attend, the Republican candidates will be invited instead.

I just hope the politics surrounding this event are solved.  It would be nice to have a forums for both Republican and Democratic candidates.
