The Biden Administration released this statement: Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland was injured during a hike in Shenandoah National Park yesterday. An evaluation this morning confirmed a break to her left fibula. She is grateful to Park staff, the U.S. Park Police, and the team at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for their excellent care. The Secretary will resume her schedule virtually this afternoon.
Haaland was confirmed by the Senate as interior secretary in March 2021 by a 51-40 vote. Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and a 35th-generation New Mexican, is the first Native American to lead a cabinet department in US history.
She previously represented New Mexico in Congress for more than two years and led the state’s Democratic Party.
