Daunting legal and logistical obstacles to voting persist in remote stretches of the southwestern United States, where the Native vote is credited with swinging the 2020 presidential election in Arizona to President Joe Biden. In New Mexico, recent election reforms are promising tribal communities a greater voice in how and where they can vote — bolstering an already robust path to political power.

Grandstands often play host to mini family reunions while Native cowboys and cowgirls show off their skills roping, riding and wrestling livestock. It's a lifestyle that's connected to nature and community — values that Oglala Lakota citizen Jessica White Plume says run deep in tribal culture. With each competition, Native Americans make it decidedly theirs. Ornate regalia, blessings bestowed by tribal elders and tribes' versions of flag songs are as much staples as big buckles and cowboy hats.
