U.S. Interior Department

Native American boarding school survivors of abuse and their descendants shared memories and tears in Arizona on U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland's yearlong “Road to Healing” initiative.

Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland will be in Phoenix and on the Navajo Nation this weekend on the latest stop of “The Road to Healing Tour.” It’s a year-long cross-country initiative to give Indigenous survivors and descendants of the federal Indian boarding school system an opportunity to tell their stories.

The U.S. Interior Department says it’s strengthening ties with tribes in managing some federal lands. It recently ordered its agencies to deepen collaborations with Indigenous nations in sacred and culturally important areas.

Environmental groups have turned in more than 122,000 public comments to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Interior Department urging the agencies to protect mature and old-growth forests on public lands from logging.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s selection as the first Native American to serve in the position has opened the door for tribes who point to a history fraught with broken promises by the U.S. government. Since her appointment, Haaland has met with nearly 130 of the nation’s 574 federally recognized tribes as she seeks to overhaul a federal system that has limited Native American relations.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland says her department is on the verge of releasing a report on its investigation into the federal government's past oversight of Native American boarding schools.

The Navajo Nation Council is opposing a Biden administration plan to ban new oil and gas drilling within 10 miles of Chaco Culture National Historical Park for 20 years. Lawmakers say it could have negative economic effects on tribal communities within the area.
