>> AND NOW MORE NEWS WITH DENNIS WEIMANN.

>>> THE INDIAN CITIZENSHIP ACT WAS ORIGINALLY PASSED IN 1924, WHICH GRANTED CITIZENSHIP AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE TO NATIVE AMERICANS, BUT STATES STILL CONTINUED TO RESTRICT THEIR ACCESS TO VOTE.

BUT SINCE THEN, A NUMBER OF ACTS HAVE BEEN PASSED THAT HAVE SOLIDIFIED THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR NATIVE AMERICANS.

THE OUR VOICES RESTORED EVENT HELD AT THE SANFORD CENTER IN BEMIDJI OVER THE WEEKEND WAS A WAY TO GET MORE NATIVES VOICES HEARD AHEAD OF THE UPCOMING ELECTION.

OUR REPORTER MATTHEW FREEMAN HAS MORE DETAILS.

>> Reporter: THIS YEAR MARKS THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE INDIAN CITIZENSHIP ACT.

HISTORICALLY, NATIVE VOTERS HAD TO OVERCOME LITERACY TESTS, INTIMIDATION AND POLL TAXES WHEN VOTING.

TODAY, IT'S EASIER FOR NATIVE VOICES TO BE HEARD AND THIS AIMS TO CELEBRATE THAT RIGHT TO VOTE, INCLUDING THE EXPANSION OF VOTING RIGHTS TO FORMALLY INCARCERATED MINNESOTANS.

>> WE WANT TO PROVIDE OUTREACH AND INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITY SO WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF THE SYSTEM AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO ADD THE COMMUNITY TO SHOW UP AND VOTE BECAUSE OUR VOTES DO MATTER.

>> WE NAME IT OUR VOICES RESTORED BECAUSE OUR VOICES HAVE BEEN RESTORED.

50,000 PEOPLE ACROSS MINNESOTA WITH THE NEW VOTING LAW CHANGE, IT GAVE THEM THEIR VOICE BACK.

SO, THEM HAVING THEIR VOICE BACK, WE WANTED TO CELEBRATE THAT.

>> Reporter: IT PROVIDED WAYS TO REGISTER TO VOTE FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T ALREADY AHEAD OF THE ELECTION AND INFORMING THE ATTENDEES ABOUT NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT IT IS TO VOTE.

>> IT'S PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITY SO THEY AGAIN CAN SEE THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF THE ISSUES WE EXPERIENCE AND CAN UNDERSTAND AND RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGAGING IN A DEMOCRACY.

THE DEMOCRACY MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT IT IS A WAY FOR US TO ALLOW OUR VOICES TO BE HEARD WITHIN THESE SPACES.

>> Reporter: THE EVENT FEATURED A NUMBER OF GUEST SPEAKERS AND MANY ATTENDEES THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

ORGANIZERS THROUGHOUT THE EVENT WERE PROUD OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP, NOT BECAUSE THIS EVENT IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND AND THEY HOPE TO MAKE IT ANNUAL BUT THEY SEE MORE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE WANTING TO BE INVOLVED.

>> I THINK IT'S A TESTAMENT OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS AND THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO SEE A SHIFT BECAUSE WE DO RECOGNIZE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE BEEN JUST WAY DOWN FOR SO LONG.

WHEN WE HAVE PEOPLE SHOW UP, IT MEANS SOMETHING.

>> WE'RE UNDERSTANDING THAT OUR VOTE MATTERS.

I THINK WE'RE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING HEARD AND SEEN AND GATHERED, AND WE'RE CELEBRATING SAYING WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE.

MORE PEOPLE CAN BE ENGAGED IN THAT PUBLIC SYSTEM.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN BEMIDJI, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> THE OUR VOICES RESTORED EVENT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY THE REGIONAL NATIVE PUBLIC DEFENSE, A NATIVE-LED NON-PROFIT LAW FIRM LOCATED IN CASS LAKE.

>>> TIME FOR WEATHER, STACY IS HERE.

WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL DAY, BUT SOUNDS LIKE THINGS WILL BE CHANGING HERE.

>> Stacy: THEY WILL BE CHANGING AND VERY QUICKLY.

WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS MOVING IN TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.

WE COULD SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS AND THEN TEMPERATURES DROP AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING, WE COULD >> CLOSED CAPTIONING IS SPONSORED BY THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACCESS OF MINNESOTA AND THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES, DEAF, DEAF/BLIND, AND HARD OF HEARING STATE SERVICES DIVISION.

>> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, IT WAS A VERY MILD DAY ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH BOTH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60s AND 70s.

THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE.

WE WILL SEE CLOUDS INCREASING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AREA TOMORROW, WE COULD SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO DROP PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY.

SO BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY, WE MAY EVEN PICK UP A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT SNOW.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, 52 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

A LIGHT WEST WIND AT THE STUDIO, THE DEW POINT IS 45.

OUR HUMIDITY IS AT 79%.

IN BRAINERD, WE HAVE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, IT'S STILL 65 DEGREES, AND THE DEW POINT IS 55, PRESSURE IS HOLDING STEADY, AND WINDS ARE SOUTH AT 6 MILES PER HOUR.

NOW AS WE LOOK AT THE RADAR, WE HAVE UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE.

WE'RE NOT SEEING REPORTS OF ANY OF THIS REACHING THE GROUND HOWEVER, AND THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE CASE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

WE EXPECT TO SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, SHOULD STAY DRY TONIGHT, BUT AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, WE ARE LOOKING AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOPING, A FEW THUNDERSTORMS AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING, BUT AGAIN THAT COLD FRONT IS GOING TO DROP THROUGH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY AND THAT IS GOING TO BRING US COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A CHANCE OF SNOW BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK.

SO SOME WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, BEAUTIFUL SKIES THIS MORNING FROM ARLENE IN MENAHGA, LAURIE SPOTTING A LITTLE DEER ON THE SHORES OF LITTLE TURTLE LAKE.

SAMROSE WITH AN EAGLE IN FLIGHT EARLIER TODAY.

WE ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF BEARS ON THE ROADSIDE, SENT TO US FROM YOLANDA.

AND DEAN SENDING US THIS PICTURE OF A GORGEOUS EVENING SKY OVER LOWER RED LAKE.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE WITH US TONIGHT.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS TODAY, A LOW OF 39 THIS MORNING.

WE HEARD FROM BOB IN BLUFFTON, PARTLY SUNNY TODAY WITH A HIGH OF 67.

DEAN IN RED LAKE, 51 AND CALM THIS EVENING.

LOOKING AT OUR ALMANAC, BRAINERD REACHING A HIGH OF 73 TODAY, WELL ABOVE OUR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

IT'S NOT QUITE THE RECORD, BUT I THINK IT'S 4 DEGREES SHY OF THE RECORD HIGH TEMP.

48 WAS OUR LOW THIS MORNING, SUNRISE AT 7:53.

IN BEMIDJI, WE TOPPED OUT AT 66, SO THAT'S 20 DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE HIGH.

40 DEGREES FOR THE LOW AND SUNSET TONIGHT AT 8 MINUTES AFTER 6:00.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT OUR FORECAST, WE HAVE THE CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOPING, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE COOLER THAN WHAT WE HAD TODAY, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE 50s ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR VIEWING AREA.

HEADING INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA, A LITTLE BIT WARMER WITH SO 60s, MAYBE CLOSE TO 70 IN LITTLE FALLS, BUT A LOT OF CLOUD COVER.

WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR RAINFALL, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TOMORROW NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.

SO OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, LOWS NEAR 45, VARIABLE WINDS UP TO 10 MINUS.

FOR TOMORROW, MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS, AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, 59 FOR OUR HIGH WITH EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS AT 5 TO 20.

LOOKING AT OUR EXTENDED FORECAST, WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY MORNING, BUT OTHERWISE RAIN SHOWERS ARE LIKELY WITH HIGHS NEAR 46.

IT GETS COLDER AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AND WE HAVE A CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS.

THE BEST CHANCE ON THURSDAY WILL BE IN EASTERN MINNESOTA AND THERE IS A CHANCE FOR RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA.

QUIETER WEATHER ON FRIDAY AND THEN MORE CHANCES OF RAIN SHOWERS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

TEMPERATURE-WISE, WE LOOK TO TOP OUT AROUND THE UPPER 40 TO LOW 50s THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

BACK TO YOU DENNIS.
