In August, Mary Peltola made history when she became first Native Alaskan and woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for the Last Frontier State. When Peltola was sworn in, Congress reached a milestone: for the first time in more than two centuries, the House has full U.S. Indigenous representation, according to Rep. Kaiali'i Kahele of Hawaii. Peltola, a member of the Yup'ik people, won Alaska's special congressional election and will finish the remaining term of the late Rep. Don Young, who died in March. After her Sept. 13, swearing in, there are now six Indigenous Americans who are representatives in the House. "Tonight, a Native American, a Native Alaskan & a Native Hawaiian are sitting members of the people’s House," Sharice Davids of Kansas, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation posted on Twitter.
