The Big Voice of Sharice Davids

She comes from the People of the Big Voice, so perhaps it?s fitting that Sharice Davids grew up to become one of the first Native women to be elected to Congress. As a child she loved to talk and that?s what also helped her win over the voters. She?s chosen to tell her story in a children?s book, ?Sharice?s Big Voice: A Native Kid Becomes A Congresswoman.? Marty Two Bulls, Sr. is an award winning cartoonist. He was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, but didn?t win. In fact, nobody won. The reason: ?no consensus pick emerged.? Marty?s primary client is the South Dakota-based Lakota Times. The Pulitzer Board described his work as ?innovative and insightful cartoons that offer a Native American perspective on contemporary news events.? Two Bulls joins us today.
