Looking at the results, I noticed Trump won a lot of heavily Native American counties. Corson & Ziebach in South Dakota, Robeson in North Carolina, Thurston in Nebraska, Blaine and Roosevelt in Montana, and Benson in North Dakota. All counties Obama carried in '12.

What happened here? Is this a low turnout problem or did Native Americans swing right?

Maybe they were confused about trump's slogan, and thought it referred to 300 years ago not 50.

She clearly underperformed, and Stein overperformed a lot in Native American areas. AFAIK, Hillary never really did any outreach to Natives (unlike Obama), and Stein was involved in the Standing Rock ruckus.

It seems pretty clear that she did. I think Jill Stein's criticism of her re: the DAPL may have played a part.

"Nativist" rhetoric?

Partly Clinton's insensitive/racist remarks towards Native Americans.


Huh?

I'm sure "Basket Of Deplorables" maybe she turned off a few Native Americans but not a big number of Native Americans.

Bernie probably would of over performed with this group.  Heck he might of campaigned in North Dakota and visited the protectors at the Dakota Access Pipeline site.

Hillary doesn't care about Native Americans, not a big enough voting bloc to pander to.

She does kind of campaign the way you might think WATSON from Jeopardy would.

Also, Oglala Lakota County (formerly Shannon), SD went from being Obama's top county in 2012 to being out of the top 5 in 2016.

Robeson County, NC, is interesting and also went Repub for Governor and Senate.

There's a new article on 538 analyzing the education gap's role in the election. One thing Nate Silver notes is that while Clinton vastly improved on Obama's numbers in minority-heavy counties with high education rates (San Diego, Fulton, Orange), she underperformed in minority-heavy counties with low education rates. That would explain her bad performance in reservations.

And no, calling Liz Warren "Pochahontas", does not even compare to this.

Actually yes that's worse.
