What if the Democratic nominee in the next Presidential election were a Mormon from Utah?
Specifically, what if nobody (including the Democratic nominee herself or himself) believed that he or she had any Amerindian ancestry? Would unresolved Amerindian land claims in Utah remain permanently unresolved, or get resolved without investigating the merits of the cases, on the assumption that if a major party nominee for President thought there was no issue there, then there is no issue there?

1. But there is an issue
The Natives got screwed. They have not received justice. Lets hope one day they get some justice, eh?

3. You are wise to see
Some will just ignore the issue. Sadly.

5. Chances that there is a DEMOCRATIC Mormon in Utah that would run for Pres is VERY SLIM
and probably nonexistent ;)
