What gets Native Americans politically and civically engaged?

4 studies with 11,000+ Native Americans finds that identifying as Native was associated with engaging in get-out-the-vote behaviors and intentions to engage in civic activities in the future

Effects likely do to the recognition of the omission of their group from society and perceive greater group discrimination

Liberals and conservative use similar moral words, but they attach different meanings to those words

Maybe seems obvious, but suggests that moral politics is a competition over *meaning* and not promoting specific values

It also has implications for how we think about and use (or don't use) dictionary methods for understanding morality in text and speech.
