Rep. Deb Haaland Is the First Native American Cabinet Nominee

[Guno צְבִי]

In another history-making selection to his cabinet, president-elect Joe Biden on Thursday announced New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland as his nominee to lead the Department of the Interior.


If confirmed by the Senate, Haaland would be the first Native American Cabinet head in a role that would have her oversee American Indian affairs, including how America's treaties with Indigenous people are fulfilled and how public lands are managed.

"A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior," Haaland, 60, wrote in a tweet following Biden's Thursday announcement. "Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land. I am honored and ready to serve."

Not sure if that is true. Most people are white. So only, I don't know, 14% should be black.

Dept. of Interior deals with Native American land. She is native America. Good choice by Biden.

Absolutely brilliant choice. The Reichwing will immediately label her as a token. Slowly they will learn just how wrong they are. Finally we have a person who understands and loves the lands we live on. Hope Biden makes a similarly brilliant appointment to head the EPA.

I can see why, given the sadness of your own genetics, why you would believe that a person of a culture that respects the planet and people would really suck at heading an agency tasked with that very same job by the U.S. government.
