Today, as part of @POTUS’s strong commitment to Indian Country, I am delighted to announce that OMB is naming Elizabeth Carr as the first-ever Tribal Advisor to the Director. We are thrilled to welcome her to the team in this historic role. https://t.co/lGHVzDMJAc

Thank you @justfoodkansas for being there for me during my financial hardship. Today, I utilize a community resource that I recommend to my constituents. Let’s continue to breakdown the stigma that may prevent folks from seeking groceries at a food bank.

The Violence Against Women Act became law 28 years ago today. Whether it’s supporting survivors or providing critical resources for addressing the MMIP crisis, this law saves lives. I fought hard to reauthorize #VAWA earlier this year, and I'm proud we got it done.

There’s nothing quite like the Navajo Nation parade. I had a great time in Window Rock today celebrating with the Navajo people and hearing more about what they need from their representatives in Washington.

AZ, ND, SD, WA, OR, WI, MN, and many other states: we see you Alaska. 👏🏽 This is the motivation and inspiration to keep at it, so we too can elect our own Native Democratic woman to congress. #NativeVote #NativeVote22

[Northeast Arizona Native Democrats @AZNativeDems]

Power of your vote! ➡️ Mary Peltola, Yup’ik, is sworn in by Speaker Pelosi. Mary is the first Alaska Native elected to Congress & first woman to represent Alaska in the House of Representatives. https://t.co/4qasnlEZq0 #NativeVote22

Successful people are not gifted; They just work hard, then succeed on purpose. What an honor 🙌🏽

[Former U.S. Representative Kaialiʻi Kahele @RepKahele]

It has taken 233 years for the U.S. Congress to be fully represented by this country’s indigenous peoples.

Tonight, a Native American, a Native Alaskan & a Native Hawaiian are sitting members of the people’s House.

Welcome U.S. Representative Peltola to the 117th Congress! 🤙🏽

[Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan @LtGovFlanagan]

That’s why we’re calling on young women, gender-expansive people, and youth to apply for the Young Women’s Initiative. Join a powerful group of women and youth in sharing your story and guiding Minnesota's future. Apply here by Tuesday, October 4: https://t.co/8U1vfFEaPL

[Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan @LtGovFlanagan]

We’re committed to not only giving young women a seat at the decision-making table, but also centering them in our decisions to improve the lives of Minnesotans.

[Sharice Davids @sharicedavids]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’ll work with anyone—Republican or Democrat—to do what’s best for #KS03.

[Northeast Arizona Native Democrats @AZNativeDems]

“When I started here in Congress there was no one that looked like us & it was so nice to see Deb & Sharice break those barriers for us & then to see this today for Alaska Native women. It’s been such an honor & I’m so happy to enjoy it with my staff who are also Native women.”

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

Today, I had the honor of visiting Avi Kwa Ame, the sacred landscape of the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe. Photos don't do this beautiful view justice. I met with Tribal and community leaders to discuss what this area means to them and the challenges that lie ahead.

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

Welcome U.S. Treasurer Lynn Malerba! For the first time, U.S. currency will have the signatures of two women on it—the 1st woman @USTreasury @SecYellen and the 1st Indigenous woman Treasurer. What an incredible example for future generations.

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

By acknowledging and empowering Tribes as partners in co-stewardship of our country’s lands and waters, every American will benefit from strengthened management of our federal land and resources. https://t.co/h8CTDFaDiP

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

The Inflation Reduction Act is a once in a lifetime accomplishment that will fundamentally tackle the climate crisis. It was an honor to celebrate with the advocates who have worked hard for decades to raise awareness and ensure we leave a livable planet to future generations.

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

It was powerful to have so many amazing leaders who have worked on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples crisis for years in the room as we discussed solutions to this crisis.

[Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan @LtGovFlanagan]

Today is @owamni Day in Minnesota! Owamni is amazing – and @Chef_Sean and Dana Thompson’s commitment to revitalizing, re-identifying, and reclaiming Indigenous food is a gift for our entire community. Mni Sota is so proud to be the home of Owamni!

[Rep. Sharice Davids @RepDavids]

❗️PASSED❗️ My bill to protect marriage equality at all levels of our government passed the House today!

It’s about time our federal policy on marriage equality aligned with the views of most Americans. Earlier today, I joined @MSNBC to chat about making that happen.
