When CNN aired a graphic with racial breakdowns of voters, it included a category called “Something Else” for those not under the white, Black, Latino or Asian labels.

Native Americans were quick to respond with sharp criticism that spread across social media. The Native American Journalists Association called for an apology from the media network.

“Something Else” also speaks to the pervasive exclusion of Indigenous people in polls and research. In this program, Native America Calling will talk about how being in a “Something Else” category affects Indigenous voices and experiences.
