Haaland confirmed as interior secretary, becoming first Native American cabinet head

[NYPOST] The Senate on Monday confirmed Rep. Deb Haaland as interior secretary, making the New Mexico congresswoman the first Native American to lead a Cabinet department.She was confirmed by a 51-40 vote.

Haaland’s confirmation was hailed by Democrats and tribal groups.

As interior secretary, she will lead a powerful department that routinely deals with the 600 federally recognized tribes.

"Rep. Haaland’s confirmation represents a gigantic step forward in creating a government that represents the full richness and diversity of this country," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer

...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 45.27704 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
said.

"Native Americans for far too long have been neglected at the Cabinet level and in so many other places," said Schumer.
"Justice Learned Hand? Chopped liver!"
On the other side of the aisle, Haaland has been criticized by several Republicans during her confirmation process for her embrace of the progressive Green New Deal and her anti-fracking stance.

Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said Haaland’s "extreme views" and support of "catastrophic legislation" such as the Green New Deal would make her confirmation as interior secretary disastrous, harming America’s energy supply and economy.

#1 Wonderful, Maybe now the dialogs will continue and expand to an updated view of Native American (NA) contributions to the United States backbone.

Generally, people have not been conscious of the fact NA Tribes are independent nations, outlined by the US Constitution but are treated as domentic dependent nations by the US Government.

So, does this appointment mean there has been a change in status (?) or was a NA 'foreigner' just installed in the US Government (?)
