President Biden plans to appoint Lynn Malerba to be the treasurer of the U.S., selecting the first Native American to oversee the printing and minting of the nation’s currency.
With the appointment, the Treasury Department will also create a new Office of Tribal and Native affairs headed by Ms. Malerba, who is the chief of the Mohegan tribe. The new office will be focused on coordinating with tribes on programs across the Treasury, which includes the Internal Revenue Service.
