Snippet:
Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland won the Democratic nomination for New Mexico governor, giving her a path to become the first Native American woman in the U.S. elected to the office. Haaland celebrated Tuesday night at a historic plaza in Albuquerque’s Old Town neighborhood, where supporters gathered for a mariachi band, traditional hoop dancing and a prayer in Tiwa, one of many Native languages spoken among tribes in the state.
