KEITH HARPER WILL BE THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.

The Senate confirmed Keith Harper as ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council Tuesday, making him thefirst Native American to ever become a U.S. ambassador.

Harper is an attorney who was one of the lawyers behind a landmark class action lawsuit brought by Native Americans against the federal government. President Barack Obama first nominated him in June 2013.
