WASHINGTON — In a history making moment, two American Indian women were sworn-in today, January 3, 2019, as members of Congress. Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo), from the 1st Congressional District in New Mexico and Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk), from the 3rd Congressional District in Kansas, became the first two American Indian women ever to become members of Congress.

The 116th Congress convened just after noon today. The new Congress changes to the control of the House of Representatives from Republican control to Democratic control. Both Rep. Haaland and Rep. Davids are Democrats.

We were always invited to Indian gatherings. This ceremonial custom is very common among the Native Americans. I’m delighted to see it in Congress. The drums and chanting are even used in churches for funerals. It’s like a being in a heart feeling the beat of life.

More and more our party looks like America. My heart swells!
