The Senate has confirmed Deb Haaland as the Secretary of the Interior, marking a historic moment as she becomes the first Native American to hold a cabinet position. The Department of the Interior is responsible for managing national parks, approximately 450 million acres of public lands, wildlife conservation efforts, and upholding Federal trust responsibilities to Indigenous communities.

In response to this significant appointment, representatives from the Sierra Club have issued statements expressing their views on Haaland's confirmation.
