Native judge awaits movement on historic nomination to federal bench

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate Committee on the Judiciary has once again scheduled a meeting to advance the nomination of another Native woman to the federal bench.

Sunshine Suzanne Sykes, a citizen of the Navajo Nation, has been waiting for committee movement for more than a month. Her confirmation hearing took place on February 1, when she spoke of her immense pride in her tribal background.

“I would not be here today without the sacrifices and resilience of so many that came before me,” Sykes said in her opening statement to the committee.
