Indian Country Today editor Mark Trahant said the news made a big splash in Native communities.
“Everyone’s working at home, yet we could still hear the reaction going across the country, so that gives you a pretty good idea,” said Trahant, a former UAA professor and member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe. “If you think about the history of the country, it’s so rare to have real representation, as in secretaries of agencies.

The Interior Department employs about 70,000 people and encompasses vastly divergent sub-agencies. One is the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Washington, D.C. – Today, the Young Fishermen’s Development Act (H.R. 1240), legislation authored by Alaska Congressman Don Young, was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. H.R. 1240 addresses the longtime decline in younger Americans entering the commercial fishing industry. This legislation would create the first ever national grant program through the Department of Commerce to support training, education, and workforce development for the nation’s next generation of commercial fishermen. H.R. 1240 was introduced earlier in the 116th Congress with Representative Jared Golden (D-ME) along with original cosponsors Representatives Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Aumua Amata (R-American Samoa).
