THE YEAR IN REVIEW: Since assuming office as the President of the United States on January 20, 2017, Donald Trump has taken a number of actions that have gone against Indian Country's interests. 

The ones that stand out include his directive to expedite the Dakota Access Pipeline, another to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline and a third to dismantle the Bears Ears National Monument. As of December 2019, all three controversies remain mired in litigation initiated by tribal nations.

Still, 2019 was somewhat different. On March 26,, Trump created the Presidential Task Force on Protecting Native American Children in the Indian Health Service System, following the conviction of a pediatrician who was accused of abusing young male patients on two reservations. The Stanley Patrick Weber scandal was widely discussed among tribal leaders and key members of Congress throughout the year.

Later in 2019, Trump sought to address one of Indian Country's highest priorities -- the crisis of our missing and murdered loved ones, particularly women and girls. He created the Task Force on Missing and Murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives on November 26. He did so as he was surrounded by a small group of tribal leaders. He let them do most of the talking (and the praising) during the event.

So as the year winds down, imagine what Donald Trump's pen could have been doing over the last 35 months. What should he have been doing for Indian Country? What could he have been doing for Indian Country?

There's 35 minutes to ponder for those who can make it all the way through.

I agree, especially, with the illegitimate, thieving, human trafficking, horrifically evil, organized criminal, in the White House at this time!  # Fact Sincerely, Shawnee Melissa Gira Grant / June 25, 2020 The Justice Department’s Fake Fight Against Sex Trafficking Newspapers love a good “Feds take down sex trafficking” story, even if there are no sex traffickers actually taken down. EVA MARIE UZCATEGUI/AFP/GETTY IMAGES When the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas  announced  it had  seized  another advertising website used by sex workers, QAnon followers loaded its Twitter feed down with patriotic congratulations and a predictable  helping  of conspiracy theories. (As one read: “Has anyone else been noticing all of the Human traffickers and Pedos getting busted in the last couple of weeks, while the news is showing us footage people throwing bricks thru windows and burning cop cars?”) It’s a  refrain  t
