November is Native American History Month.  Today, we will talk about: 

Deb (Hah-lund) Haaland is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and a 35th generation New Mexican. Haaland grew up in a military family, with her father who was a Marine and her mother who was in the Navy. As a single mother, she ran her own business, became one of the first Native American women to serve in Congress, the first Native American to be the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, and now is the First Native American woman who is a Governor-Elect after her victory in the midterms.  Her focus has always been on environmental justice, climate change, missing and murdered indigenous women, and family-friendly policies.
