<\/p>\r\nPresident Joe Biden is welcoming a new Native adviser to the White House, the third of his administration.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nElizabeth Hidalgo Reese<\/a> is a citizen of the Pueblo of Namb\u00e9<\/a>, one of the six Tewa language speaking tribes in northern New Mexico. She comes to federal service from Stanford Law School<\/a>, where she was the first ever Native faculty member<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\u201cShe\u2019s awesome,\u201d an expert in tribal law and policy told Indianz.Com on Wednesday.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nReese is no stranger to Washington, D.C. She previously served as an attorney at the National Congress of American Indians<\/a>, where she advised the tribal advocacy organization on a major law and policy issue \u2014 protecting Native women from violence. \r\n

<\/P>\r\nDuring her time at NCAI, she authored a key report that explained how tribes have been exercising their sovereignty following the inclusion of historic provisions in the Violence Against Women Act<\/a> (VAWA) of 2013. Her work led to an updated version of the law that expands on the ways in which tribes can hold all perpetrators, regardless of race, responsible for crimes in their communities.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n\u201cIt is time to get out of the way and let tribal governments do as much as they can in the fight to protect Native women,\u201d Reese said in Congressional testimony<\/a> that explained why federal statutes like VAWA must recognize tribal sovereignty. Biden signed the most recent version of the law in 2022.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nReese did not immediately respond to a request for comment placed via email on Wednesday evening. But two people close to the situation confirmed her arrival to the Biden administration, with both highlighting her role as the president\u2019s new adviser on Native policy. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nA third person, meanwhile, confirmed that the president\u2019s prior Native adviser was no longer in the post. Daron Carreiro, a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation<\/a>, had been serving as Senior Policy Advisor for Native Affairs on the White House Domestic Policy Council since April 2021<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nCarreiro had been detailed to the White House from the Department of Justice<\/a>, and he has since returned to that federal agency, two of the sources said. He has worked on Indian law cases as a trial attorney at DOJ.\r\n
