Our vast and stunning public lands are not only celebrated for their natural beauty and natural resources—they also play a prominent part in conveying the American Story to visitors from across the country and around the globe. US Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland joins Mellon Foundation President Elizabeth Alexander for a discussion about the reparative work Haaland leads on our public lands, the charge of stewardship for racial and environmental justice, and the role of Interior in telling the American Story. Secretary Deb Haaland is an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Laguna in New Mexico. She made history when she became the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary.
