Ever since Cheyenne Ben Night Horse Campbell became a House Representative and later a Senator, it would only seem natural to have an American Indian run for presidency.
Dear Ones,
As a Humanist I have often wondered about this question, Having a traditionalist First American for the first time running for Chief of the Army and presidency would be a tremendous boost for universal peace. Indian nations today are great environmentalists who believe in protecting nature and wild life, as well as human beings and inherent rights.
Additionally, there would be no controversy over church and state. This refreshing new government leadership would never foist a biased religious belief on citizens of any of the Americas.
In fact, in the true traditional way, there is no word for religion in their vocabularies. They do not worship men turned into gods. Besides, instead of worship they respect nature.
They also are bilingual, retaining their original languages. During WWII the Lakotas, the Apsaalookas (Crows) and the Navahos became the "code talkers" and could converse in secret languages from one airplane to another. Even the US and allies didn't understand what was code to them, let alone the opposition.
It would be a quintessential benefit to the United States, especially in foreign matters, to have an American Indian as president–the very first one, after years of presidents of European descent.
