Deb Haaland’s next chapter in public service
Deb Haaland’s (Laguna Pueblo) political star rose fast, from heading her state party to congresswoman to U.S. Secretary of the Interior.
Each step of the way she blazed a trail for Native women. As the head of the agency that oversees Indian Affairs, Haaland championed a first-of-its-kind documentation of the U.S. Government’s role in the Indian Boarding School Era, drawing on both public records and first-hand testimony from survivors and their descendants.
Now, she aims to become the first female Native American governor in her home state of New Mexico. Tune in to hear from Haaland about her legacy as Interior Secretary and her hopes for the future.
