Question

For many Native Americans living on tribal reservations, a home address is not a standard number and street name, like 735 Bleeker Street. Instead, it’s a series of instructions. “They’ll say something like, I live off highway 86 by milepost 125 and a half,” said Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation and a Democratic candidate for Pima County recorder in Arizona. These “nontraditional addresses” complicate things for indigenous voters during a time when the majority of states have moved to voting by mail to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. A record number of Americans are expected to vote by mail in the November election. States like Nevada, Idaho, Montana and South Dakota, which all include large stretches of tribal land, held their primary elections almost entirely by mail.

Answer 1

The evidence from the passage that supports the author's explicit statement that many Native Americans on tribal reservations do not have standard addresses is: “'They’ll say something like, I live off highway 86 by milepost 125 and a half,’ said Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation and a Democratic candidate for Pima County recorder in Arizona.” This directly illustrates the nontraditional addressing system used by some Native Americans, indicating that they do not have standard numerical and street name addresses.
