“She said her name was Deb Haaland,” Warren recalled. “I’d never heard of her.”
Haaland was volunteering for the presidential campaign of a senator named Barack Obama, and she wanted Warren to travel to the Laguna Pueblo, the Native American enclave Haaland hailed from, to speak to locals about the election’s importance.
When Warren arrived, he found potluck food and 20 people. Haaland apologized for the low
turnout. He waved her off, impressed by the unknown activist s embrace of grassroots politics and tireless work ethic.
Fast forward since then and the number of people who have heard of Haaland has grown exponentially. Now that same political savvy she used to mobilize Native voters in 2008 for a victorious Obama has helped her once again make history.
