Print article A former longtime attorney with the Native American Rights Fund in Alaska and a citizen of Oklahoma’s Chickasaw Nation has taken a leadership position in President Joe Biden’s Interior Department, the agency said in a statement Wednesday. Natalie Landreth will serve as deputy solicitor for land, a position that could place her in the middle of major legal questions involving natural resource development and land protections in Alaska and nationally, said Heather Kendall-Miller, a retired senior staff attorney with NARF who has worked in Alaska with Landreth and remains involved with the organization.

Matthew Campbell, a staff lawyer at the Native American Rights Fund, which has represented Indigenous groups in lawsuits against the project, said the move recognises “that the tribes will be heavily impacted by the pipeline and so it should not be approved”.
Just hours after he was inaugurated, Biden cancelled his predecessor President Donald Trump’s approval of Keystone XL, a 1,947km (1,210 mile) pipeline that was set to stretch from the Canadian province of Alberta to the US state of Nebraska.
