OKLAHOMA CITY -
Vogue Magazine recently featured nominated Interior Secretary Deb Haaland for her Indigenous styled attire during President Biden’s inauguration.
The designer behind the look came from an Oklahoma woman.
One year ago, she gifted Haaland with the traditional native ribbon skirt.
“She’ll be the first Indigenous Secretary of Interior. It makes me so happy to know that there is someone who is going to be representing our people in such a position of power like that,” Aiukli Cornell said.
Isabella Aiukli Cornell said she was surprised to see Haaland wearing one of her designs at last week’s inauguration. Aiukli Cornell said Haaland is a woman she’s always admired.
