Biden to Appoint First Native American Treasurer

President Biden plans to appoint Lynn Malerba to be the treasurer of the U.S., choosing the primary Native American to oversee the printing and minting of the nation’s forex.

With the appointment, the Treasury Department will even create a brand new Office of Tribal and Native affairs headed by Ms. Malerba, who’s the chief of the Mohegan tribe. The new workplace might be targeted on coordinating with tribes on packages throughout the Treasury, which incorporates the Internal Revenue Service.
