Deb Haaland, first Indigenous member of U.S. cabinet, meets counterparts in Ottawa
By The Canadian Press Sep 06, 2023
The first-ever Indigenous member of the U.S. cabinet is in Canada to
talk about how best to help First Nations, Inuit and Métis Inuit
communities across the continent.
Interior Secretary
Deb Haaland, a member of New Mexico’s Laguna Pueblo tribe, has made
missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls a top priority of her
department.
While in Ottawa, she will take part in a trilateral working group set
up in 2016 to address the problem, a crisis in all three countries in
North America.
Haaland is also
expected to meet with a number of federal officials and dignitaries in
the national capital, as well as David Cohen, the U.S. ambassador to
Canada.

The tragic legacy of residential schools, known in the U.S. as boarding schools, has also been a key focal point for Haaland.
