Lummi Nation tribal member Karen Scott drops her completed ballot into a ballot drop box Monday, Oct. 19, 2020, on the Lummi Reservation, near Bellingham, Wash. Washington Native Vote Day is Tuesday, Oct. 20, where tribes throughout the state connect, mainly remotely this year because of the coronavirus, with each other to encourage tribal members to register to vote and to cast their ballots. The historic photo used on the voting poster is referred to as "Lummi Woman," shot by Edward Curtis in 1899. It wasn't until 1962 that every state in the nation secured the right to vote for Native people. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
