Gladstone, a member of the Blood Tribe of the Blackfoot Nation, was appointed to the Senate by then-prime minister John Diefenbaker in 1958. That was two years before Aboriginal people in this country had the right to vote. Gladstone served as an Independent Conservative from Lethbridge until 1971.
