WASHINGTON, D.C. — The beat of drums echoed off the walls of the Department of the Interior auditorium Wednesday as members of the Native American Women Warriors Color Guard moved toward the stage with tribal flags in hand.
Just minutes before, the room was filled with laughter and conversation as friends and family gathered. But as the traditional song filled the space, they fell quiet.
More than 100 Indigenous leaders were on hand for the first of two days of the Biden administration’s third annual Tribal Nations Summit, where President Joe Biden last Wednesday vowed to strengthen relationships with tribal nations and advance tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
