Well I think I got Representative Lee Alcon’s attention from the letter he wrote in the Cibola Citizen on 10-28-20. Lee tells me I am wrong about him in my earlier letter. Lee advised getting information about votes absentee was perfectly legal by NM law, unfortunately he failed to cite said law.
I have been asked by...

Native women make their own decisions

With 574 federally recognized “American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages in the U.S.” it is a fitting role for Gallup, the “Indian Capital of the World.”
On Sept. 27, 2016, the City of Gallup passed Resolution/Proclamation R2016–40, declaring the second Monday of October as “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” into perpetuity...
