I'm a Native American. Which candidate are most Native Americans going to support?

Define Native American.

Given the climate of today's issues I'm not honestly sure if I'm thinking of the same Native Americans others are.

Native Americans consist of many distinct tribes, bands and ethnic groups, some of which survive as intact, sovereign nations. Mostly found in the United States. I think most tribes are split on political views though. Maybe I should just join a tribe and find out. I also should have asked on a website like answerbag. I was in a hurry when I asked though. Hopefully, this thread will not create controversy. I just can't seem to find out who I want to vote for. I definitely don't want it to be a Clinton vs Bush thing though. What's the guys name who is of India Indian decent that's running?

I wanted to be clear, because as I stated given the current political climate I wanted to make sure we were speaking of the actual Native American tribes and not super ultra nationalistic macho folk parading about.

As to the candidate, do your research and vote for the one who represents your wishes best, not whom the majority of your sect will vote for.

And I believe the answer to your other question is Bobby Jindal of Lousiana is the "India Indian". Born here in the US as a Hindu but later convereted to Roman Catholicism.
