Indigenous Allyship

President Joe Biden has nominated New Mexico Congresswoman Deb Haaland, a Pueblo Indian, to head the Department of the Interior–which oversees the Bureau of Indian Affairs and land-use issues that continue to affect indigenous communities. If confirmed, Congresswoman Haaland would be America's first Native American Cabinet secretary. Claudia Fox Tree–an indigenous rights activist and educator–and Debby Irving–a racial justice educator and author of "Waking Up White"–work together on the 21-Day Racial Equity Indigenous Challenge, and they explain why this moment matters for all Americans.
