Gov. Tim Walz delivered remarks at a rally in Window Rock, Arizona, on Saturday afternoon, a remote location on the Navajo Nation.

According to the campaign, Walz’s visit marks the first time a candidate on the presidential ticket has gone to the Navajo Nation this cycle.

“We’re here because we don’t take any vote for granted, and we’re here to show respect for the Navajo Nation and earn your vote. I’m telling you now that we’re running like it’s all on the line, because it’s all on the line he said.

Walz said with the closeness of this election, especially in the battleground state of Arizona, the Native vote can really tip the scales for the Democratic ticket.

“I think we probably won the whole thing because of the work that was done here, the work that was done on the nation, and we put Kamala Harris in the White House,” Walz said.

Walz argued that Donald Trump did not give Native Americans support in office and specifically criticized Trump for meeting with families of Navajo war veterans at the White House in 2017.

The event was held in front of a picture of Andrew Jackson, the president who signed legislation that eventually led to the Trail of Tears.

“I don’t know if he knows his history well enough to know what he was doing, but I damn sure guarantee you that the people around him knew the insult they were throwing at Indian country by making these heroes stand in front of that portrait. Walz said.

Walz outlined how his and Harris’ economic policies would boost tribal entrepreneurs and businesses and improve their health care options.

“I want to be clear and make sure you hear it and the country hears it. Kamala Harris and I recognize the promises this country made to Indigenous peoples. We will protect and strengthen the bonds between our nations and uphold our trust and treaty obligations,” he said.
