Are under the impression that you are asking about Senators in the state Legislature (state Senate), and not about senators at the national level in Congress in Washington D.C. As a point of clarification, many state legislative branches have a [state] House of Representatives/[state] Senate, is there a simple way to indicate that you are speaking about a state/federal legislative branch ("Congress" is what tipped me off, is there another?) | |
| Aug 14, 2013 at 16:50 | comment | added | user1530 | I do think there cold be some clarification here. As user1873 points out, they have representation at the state level. Is that what you are asking? Or are you asking more about regional representation (ala, representatives specifically for the Native American tribal lands)? | |

| Aug 13, 2013 at 15:55 | comment | added | user4012 | I will guess that it's because the treaties signed by them didn't provide for representation... but that's a guess, not a fact. | |
| Aug 13, 2013 at 15:20 | comment | added | user1530 | @SamIam fair point. Related: officially, Native Americans weren't even fully guaranteed the right to vote for said representatives until 1965: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_civil_rights#Voting | |

| Aug 13, 2013 at 15:13 | comment | added | user1530 | @SamIam Senators represent regions, not ethnic groups. (One could argue that Native American Land falls 'within' said regions, I suppose...) | |
