Indian Country makes presence known at Democratic convention

Indian Country was well represented as the Democratic National Convention kicked off on Monday.

Whether it was a hospitality tent hosted by the Cherokee Nation or meetings among American Indian and Alaska Native delegates, Democrats expressed pride in their prominent presence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They said it reflected their party's inclusive nature, with many drawing a contrast to their Republican counterparts.

"I think we're going to see a convention that is night and day to the convention last week," Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker said as he welcomed delegates from his tribe and the state of Oklahoma to the Wells Fargo Center, where the hospitality tent was located.
