<\/p>\r\n• NATIVES ON CLUBHOUSE: Secretary Haaland at NCAI [Audio Only]<\/a><\/strong>\r\n

<\/p>\r\nSecretary Deb Haaland<\/a> is addressing the National Congress of American Indians<\/a> for the first time since taking over the Department of the Interior<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nHaaland will deliver remarks at NCAI’s mid-year session<\/a> on Tuesday afternoon. According to a media advisory from Interior, she will discuss first steps in reconciling the troubled legacy of the federal government’s Indian boarding school policies<\/a>. \r\n

<\/P>\r\n\u201cI am a product of these horrific assimilation policies,\u201d Haaland, who is a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna,<\/a> wrote in an opinion published in The Washington Post<\/a>. \u201cMy maternal grandparents were stolen from their families when they were only 8 years old and were forced to live away from their parents, culture and communities until they were 13. Many children like them never made it back home.\u201d\r\n

<\/P>\r\n
