Haaland nomination generates excitement in Native American communities

ADVERTISEMENT “I thought about my daughter and how this is a new normal for my daughter,” Nikki Pitre, executive director of the Center for Native American Youth and a member of the Coeur d Alene Tribe, told The Hill. “Seeing what it s like to have an indigenous woman in the highest levels of government it’s hard to put into words now that I’m seeing it and get to experience it. It just feels incredibly overwhelming in the absolute best way.” Haaland, a progressive, generated significant momentum for the position, backed by groups and lawmakers on the left as well as many tribes.

Trump s impact on Indian Country over four years — High Country News – Know the West

Michael Nigro/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images When President Donald Trump took office in January 2017, many tribal leaders took a wait-and-see approach, given his poor record on Indigenous affairs. Four years later, Indian Country has weathered a failed pandemic response, budget cuts and diminished environmental regulations. Over the span of his administration, many leadership positions in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Interior Department were left empty or filled by appointees never vetted by Congress. The annual White House Tribal Nations Conference, held by President Barack Obama for eight years, ceased. Trump’s three Supreme Court justices include one with a solid understanding of federal Indian law and the U.S government’s responsibility to tribes, as well as one whose judicial perspectives are actively harmful.
