In a historic first, President-elect Joe Biden will nominate Rep. Deb Haaland to lead the Department of the Interior, his transition team announced Thursday evening.

If confirmed by the Senate, Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, would be the country’s first Native American Cabinet secretary. Fittingly, she’d do so as head of the agency responsible for not only managing the nation’s public lands but also honoring its treaties with the Indigenous people from whom those lands were taken.

In a statement, the Biden-Harris transition team called Haaland a “barrier-breaking public servant who has spent her career fighting for families, including in Tribal Nations, rural communities, and communities of color,” who will be “ready on day one to protect our environment and fight for a clean energy future.”

In a tweet, Haaland acknowledged the unique “voice” she’ll bring. “Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce,” she wrote. “I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.”

She understands at a very real level — at a generational level, in her case going back 30 generations — what it is to care for American lands,” says Aaron Weiss, deputy director of the Center for Western Priorities.

Haaland’s nomination is a win for tribal governments, environmental groups and some progressive lawmakers who had been lobbying for the New Mexico lawmaker to lead the Department of the Interior. Her fellow House Natural Resources Committee member and rumored Interior candidate, Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., wrote a letter to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus recommending Haaland for the post.

“It is well past time that an Indigenous person brings history full circle at the Department of Interior,” he wrote.

The Interior Department upholds the federal government’s responsibilities to the country’s 574 federally recognized Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages. Its roughly 70,000-person staff also oversees one-fifth of all the land in the U.S. as well as 1.7 billion acres of the country’s coasts. It manages national parks, wildlife refuges and other public lands, protecting biologically and culturally important sites while also shepherding natural resource development.

The Biden administration is expected to take a much different approach to natural resources than its predecessor, which championed oil and gas development above all else on federal lands. Biden has promised to shift the U.S. away from climate-warming fossil fuels toward renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

In an interview before her nomination, Haaland told NPR that would be her priority, too.

“Climate change is the challenge of our lifetime, and it’s imperative that we invest in an equitable, renewable energy economy,” she said.

Haaland’s experience as a lawmaker in fossil fuel-dependent New Mexico, and as the former head of the state’s Democratic Party, leaves her well-positioned to navigate that transition, environmental advocates say. The state has one of the most aggressive climate plans in the country.

“You have to understand the complexity of public lands management,” says Demis Foster, executive director of Conservation Voters New Mexico. “And I can’t imagine a better representation of that than here in New Mexico. We have a vast network of public lands. We have extraordinary biodiversity, and we have a very unique cultural heritage.”

State lawmakers also have to balance that, she says, with the “extraordinary force and influence of extractive industry.”

The New Mexico Oil & Gas Association called on Haaland to take a “balanced approach.”

“Responsible energy development on federal lands is a vital part of our state’s economy,” the group said in a statement. “The policies enacted by the next Interior Secretary,” it said, “will determine how much or little our state is able to support critical needs like public schools, healthcare, and first responders.”

Mike Sommers, chief executive of the American Petroleum Institute, said in a statement that oil and gas resources “will be critical to rebuilding our economy and maintaining America’s status as a global energy leader.”

Haaland has echoed Biden in saying that a transition to renewable energy is a job creator, which makes it a no-brainer during the economic uncertainty spurred by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Haaland was a vocal critic of many of those moves. As chair of a House Natural Resources subcommittee that oversees Interior, she has led hearings on everything from the Trump administration’s handling of national park reopenings during the coronavirus pandemic to its treaty-obligated communications with tribal governments for projects that affect their lands

“Tribal consultation is basically nonexistent during this Trump administration,” Haaland said. “President-elect Biden has promised to consult with tribes, which I think will help immensely with some of the environmental issues that he wants to address.”

ndigenous people are also disproportionately affected by environmental pollution, says Kandi White, the Native energy and climate campaign director at the Indigenous Environmental Network.

“Fossil fuel development, uranium development, clear-cutting of forests — all these things that have been happening on tribal lands were exacerbated under the [Trump] administration and need to be looked at,” she says.

As a member of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation in North Dakota, White says, she’s seen the effects of fracking and other development firsthand.

She thinks it will be impactful to have a Native American woman such as Haaland, who understands the complex government-to-government relationship between Indigenous people and the U.S., leading the Department of the Interior.
