Deb was born on December 2, 1960, in Winslow, Arizona, as ‘Debra Anne Haaland.’ As of 2020, she will be 60 years old.
Deb Haaland is an enrolled member of the Laguna Pueblo tribe, which has lived on the land that is now New Mexico since the 1200s. Deb identifies as a 35th-generation New Mexican, but her mother, Mary Toya, is a native American woman, and her father, Major J. D. “Dutch” Haaland, is a Norwegian American.
Deb’s parents both served in the military. Her mother served in the United States Navy, and her father was a Marine Corps officer who received the Silver Star for his actions in Vietnam. When he died in 2005, he was given a full military burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
Meanwhile, little is known about Deb’s siblings, who include three sisters and a brother.
Deb Haaland, a marathon runner, and gourmet cook stands 5′ 4′′ tall and is always inspiring and beautiful. Her most recent reported weight was 64 kilograms (141 pounds).
Deb, a recent Highland High School graduate, worked at a local bakery. She enrolled in the University of New Mexico at the age of 28 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English.
Deb, like many New Mexicans, had to rely on food stamps as a single parent at times. She lived paycheck to paycheck and struggled to complete her Juris Doctor degree in Indian law from the University of New Mexico School of Law, which she received in 2006.
Regardless, she was the first Chairwoman elected to the Laguna Development Corporation Board of Directors as a result of her hard work and determination.
She was named the first Native American woman to lead a state party after running for Lieutenant Governor of New Mexico in 2014.
Deb has also served as an Honorary Commander of the Kirtland Air Force since 2016. Climate activists, joined by progressive members of Congress, tribal leaders, and Hollywood celebrities, were seen mounting a public campaign in support of her accomplishments following Joe Biden’s recent selection.
Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, New Mexico Senator Tom Udall, and Sunrise Movement’s Varshini Prakash congratulated Deb, describing her as an excellent choice to “undo the damage done by the Trump administration.”

Deb Haaland, who has spent the majority of her life advocating for the “underrepresented, advancing progressive values, and electing Democrats who fight for the people,” enjoys connecting with those in need via her social media pages.
On her two separate Facebook pages, she had nearly 38k and 50.5k followers.
Furthermore, the Instagram and Twitter accounts had an impressive 72.3k and 171.2k followers, respectively.
Deb Haaland is the mother of a daughter named Somáh Haaland, whom she raised on her own.
Somáh earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Mexico. The up-and-coming performer/writer/activist joined the Tricklock Company as a satellite member in 2019. And, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the young Haaland was working in New York as a production assistant on a Netflix show.
Deb gave birth to her baby girl as a single mother four days after graduating from the University of New Mexico in 1994. She then volunteered at her daughter’s pre-school to help pay for her daughter’s early childhood education. She also started a salsa business, but did not make enough money to afford a home and had to rely on friends for shelter.
Deb frequently attributes her success as a lawmaker in Congress to her struggles as a single mother who is a constant source of guidance for her children.
While we don’t know anything about the politician’s ex-husband, her daughter talks a lot about her stepfather and Deb’s second husband on her Instagram.
Somáh, who is very close to him, refers to him as her “father.” She shared this photo with him sometime in 2017, writing:
“Here’s to all the fathers who raised children who aren’t their own. Family does not have to be biological, and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been raised by this man rather than my “real” father. Despite the fact that my father is a jerk (and was surprised that I turned out to be gay, which I don’t understand every time I look at this picture? ), I adore him, and without his support, I would not be the foul-mouthed, tattooed jerk that I am today.”
Somáh has been introducing her father to her Instagram followers on a regular basis. As she previously stated, “a lot of you know who my mom is, but this is my dad.” My parents are polar opposites, and I am grateful to have been raised by each of them.”
