SALT LAKE CITY â Utahâs Native American tribes are reacting to President-elect Joe Bidenâs historic pick to lead the Department of the Interior.
Congresswoman Deb Haaland, once confirmed, would be the first Native American to lead the Interior Department, marking a historic moment for Americaâs indigenous peoples.
âTo have an American Indian elevated to this high of a post is truly an amazing moment in the history of federal and tribal relations,â said University of Utah Professor Elizabeth Kronk Warner, an expert in environmental and Indian law.

SALT LAKE CITY In many ways, 2020 was a reminder that there are still many social injustices that haven t been solved or addressed.
Following a difficult year for the subject, Utah officials hope they can find a way to acknowledge the problems that still exist and work out ways to find solutions to them in the near future. Gov. Gary Herbert pointed to difficult moments from throughout the year as he introduced a new Utah Compact that seeks to address racial equity, diversity and inclusion.
State and community leaders hope the compact will be a guide in handling the situation. It seeks that all Utahns must have a truly equal opportunity to prosper and that economic inclusion is essential to creating these opportunities.
