Indian Country welcomes Haaland to Interior


ROB CHANEY
PABLO — Minutes before the start of a Tribal Council meeting, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Chairwoman Shelly Fyant took a moment to consider the confirmation of Deb Haaland as Interior Secretary.
“It gives me chills,” Fyant said. “Grandmothers all over the world are talking about the shift the world has taken — to have a Native American and a woman to serve an agency that hasn’t always done the greatest job in Indian Country.”
Overcoming opposition led in part by Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines, Haaland earned a 51-40 vote in the Senate on Monday to join President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. As Interior Secretary, Haaland oversees the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, Indian Water Rights Office, Fish and Wildlife Service and other departments that have a direct impact on the Flathead Indian Reservation.

PABLO — Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Chairwoman Shelly Fyant said Congressional approval of the settlement of water rights claims in the Flathead Basin comes as a relief.
She's also sounding an optimistic note about the agreement's impact on everything from job creation to wildlife protection.
Monday's approval of the Montana Water Rights Act is a big headline all on its own.
