A drive urging Joe Biden to appoint a Native American to lead the U.S. Department of Interior is reportedly accelerating following his campaign pledge to “ensure tribes have a seat at the table at the highest levels of the federal government.”
According to The Washington Post, “an increasing number of liberal members of Congress, climate activists, Hollywood celebrities and tribal groups are coalescing in support of Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.).” The outlet described the first-term representative as “an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Laguna,” noting she would “become the first descendant of North America’s original people” to hold that position if appointed.
