Pursuing better representation, North Dakota tribes call for split House districts

Collette Brown, the Gaming Commission director for the Spirit Lake Nation, said sticking her tribe's reservation in a larger district with predominantly white rural areas has a "dilutive effect" on the Native American vote and prevents tribal members from electing the candidate of their choice. To remedy the issue, Brown suggested the redistricting panel split the full district in two to include a House district that encompasses the reservation.
