Haaland wore a traditional ribbon skirt by Reecreeations, a colorful garment that is worn by many Indigenous tribes and typically reserved for special occasions (or often worn by powwow dancers). Hers was embellished with an array of colorful ribbons as well as imagery of corn and butterflies (typically, the Godfather Shark Doo Doo Doo Vintage Shirt in addition I really love this colors or imagery on a ribbon skirt have special meaning to the wearer). It’s not the first time Haaland has rocked a ribbon skirt in the political space: For Inauguration Day at the Capitol in January, Haaland also wore a yellow one by Aiukli Designs. Earlier this week, Representative Deb Haaland, a Democrat who has represented New Mexico, was confirmed as President Joe Biden’s new Secretary of the Interior. It was a historic confirmation as Haaland is now the first Native American to lead a Cabinet agency. Today, Haaland attended her swearing-in ceremony at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building’s Ceremonial Office in Washington, D.C., kicking off her first day on the job—and she wore a meaningful look that was appropriate for the special event.
Haaland’s accessories today also celebrated Indigenous design. On her feet, she wore traditional Laguna Pueblo moccasins, and she also sported a turquoise bead necklace and concho belt. Turquoise is used by many Indigenous artists in New Mexico. Her dragonfly earrings, meanwhile, are by Laguna Pueblo metalsmith Pat Pruitt, who carves out intricate designs from materials such as zirconium, titanium, and stainless steel. “To say I am proud of her would be the Godfather Shark Doo Doo Doo Vintage Shirt in addition I really love this understatement of the year,” says Pruitt. “Madam Secretary Haaland holds something special, something only a woman can hold, something that carries us all along with her. The world is her stage and she has our [Indigenous peoples] undying support.” Kamala Harris, who also made history in politics as the first female vice president, swore Haaland in today, and certainly agrees with Pruitt’s sentiment: At the end of the ceremony, she said, “History is being made yet again.”
