In the Loop: Echo Hawk gives new job to Jeanette Hanna





"More shuffling—and questions—at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The bureau’s leader, Larry Echo Hawk, announced last month that he’s leaving for a leadership spot in the Mormon church. On his way out the door, he reassigned Jeanette Hanna to a new post.

Hanna, who was director of the eastern Oklahoma regional office, had been “on detail” to the Washington headquarters since early 2010. Now she’s a special assistant to the assistant secretary for Indian affairs—the assistant secretary position being the one that Echo Hawk is leaving at the end of the month."
