The incoming Biden administration has announced its nomination for Secretary of the Department of the Interior: U.S. Representative Deb Haaland, a Native American from New Mexico who would replace Trump administration appointee David Bernhardt, a Coloradan termed the ultimate swamp monster by environmental groups.
Haaland’s nomination is undeniably historic. If confirmed, she d be the first Native American to head the very federal agency that since 1849 has been managing and often mismanaging the U.S. relationship with the nation’s tribes. “A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior,” Haaland said in a tweet. “I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.”
