First Lady Jill Biden Visits Tohono O'odham Nation

Making her fourth trip to Indian Country since becoming first lady, Dr. Jill Biden on Tuesday visited the Tohono O'odham Nation in southern Arizona. While there she and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra toured a site operated by the University of Arizona Cancer Center.

They were greeted by Tohono O'Odham Chairman Nate Norris, Jr., who offered a blessing. He asked for guidance for President Joe Biden as he makes critical decisions about the Ukraine War. Norris asked for "a moment of silence for our families, our brothers and sisters, our fellow human beings who are being displaced by that war in Ukraine."

Norris said he appreciated First Lady Biden choosing to come to the Tohono O'odham Nation to view the cancer program.
