Deb Haaland is confirmed as the United States Secretary of the Interior Department. Finally, a Native American is in a position to oversee the land and natural resources of a territory which they tended for hundreds of years. Thank you Universe!
A quote from the Washington Post Article:
“Now that she is Secretary Haaland, I think we can all expect there will be a voice that is not just “familiar with” or “friendly to” tribes and tribal issues but a voice that is us,” Holly Cook Macarro, chairwoman of American Indian Graduate Center
