Native Americans' right to vote is under attack

TUBA CITY, ARIZONA — Growing up on the sprawling Navajo Nation land in the northeast corner of Arizona, Darrell Marks remembers telling people how to find the two-bedroom home he shared with his mother and five siblings. It’s the “brown house five miles south of the trading post,” he’d explain.

Marks’ childhood home in Tonalea doesn’t have an official postal address, like many homes across the nation’s largest Native American reservation. Outside the populated towns like Flagstaff and Page, the landscape is dotted with more cacti than homes, scattered across the rolling hills and mesas.
