Letter: Native Americans are forgotten. Again.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Carl Moore, performs a dance, during the Indigenous Peoples Day celebration, hosted by the Utah League of Native American Voters and PANDOS (Peaceful Advocates for Native Dialogue and Organizing Support) at the Salt Lake City Library, Monday, October 9, 2017.

News has been full of reports of racial tension in the last couple of years. Police treat blacks more violently than they do other groups. Muslims and other refugees are no longer welcome in the U.S. But one racial group is never mentioned in this context. We all, including blacks and other minorities, continue discrimination against the American Indian, who has been oppressed longer than any other race in our country.
