Wyoming s congressional lawmakers expressed opposition during Tuesday s confirmation hearing for Secretary of the Interior Department nominee Deb Haaland.
Currently, Haaland is a democratic U.S. Rep. from New Mexico and as a member of the Laguna Pueblo, she is the first Native American to be nominated for the position. Republican Sen. John Barrasso was specifically critical of Haaland s views on the energy industry, and brought up Wyoming s dependence on revenue from energy production on public lands.
Throughout the hearing, Haaland said that any changes in fossil fuel production would be under President Biden s authority.
Andi Clifford, a Northern Arapaho and Wyoming State Representative from the Wind River Indian Reservation, said that Barasso missed an opportunity to say he represents two sovereign nations, the Northern Arapaho and the Eastern Shoshone tribes.
RIVERTON – The Northern Arapaho Election Committee has until Dec. 29 to repair its general election or be held in contempt by the Wind River Tribal Court.
