Thanks to leadership under Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the past four years have been nonstop ground-breaking progress to strengthen Tribal and Indigenous communities:

🪶 Grew the number of public land co-stewardship agreements with Tribes across the country from 20 to 200, the largest-ever increase in history.

🪶 Protected more than 12.5 million acres of public lands as national monuments, mineral withdrawals, wildlife refuges, and mores.

🪶 Invested $580 million toward Indian water rights settlements to continue to safeguard clean water resources for Tribal communities.

According to Native Americans in Philanthropy’s Director of Environmental & Special Projects, Joel Moffett (Nez Perce): "Secretary Haaland has done more than any of her predecessors to support Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities’ stewardship of lands and waters.”
