Deb Haaland
The First Daughter of Laguna Pueblo, Guardian of Sacred Lands
Laguna first, always. Land doesn't belong to us—we belong to it.
I walked a long road to where I stand—waitress, single mom, law student, Congresswoman, Cabinet Secretary. But I never left home. I carry Laguna with me in every decision, every fight for sacred lands, every push to bring bison back to the plains. I didn’t come here for power—I came to restore balance.
What I'm Into: Bison herds, Bears Ears at sunrise, Congressional votes that change everything, my granddaughter's questions, the old Pueblo ways
