WASHINGTON — The first-ever Indigenous member of the U.S. cabinet is in Canada to talk about how best to help First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities across the continent.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, a member of New Mexico's Laguna Pueblo tribe, has made missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls a top priority of her department.
Haaland is also expected to meet with a number of federal officials and dignitaries in the national capital, as well as David Cohen, the U.S. ambassador to Canada. A report released last year found marked and unmarked burial sites at 53 separate locations and estimated at least 500 students died at 19 of 408 schools supported by the U.S. government.
