Voting Results from the Top 100 Native American Poll Last month, Terri Jean, from the Native Truth and Red Roots Educational Project, held an interesting opportunity for the public to vote for the top 100 Native Americans. (To learn more about the project and almost 200 nominees, visit: Top 100 Native Americans Contest and Nominations ). After nearly 7,000 votes, the results are in. Congratulations to Leonard Peltier, Native Village reader and friend, for his win. We honor you, and all other heroes both on and off the list, who exemplify the greatness of Native People. |
