- Description:
- La Donna Harris, the wife of Senator Fred R. Harris, is actively involved in advocating for American Indians through her organization Americans for Indian Opportunity. Despite her efforts, there has been a lack of response from the government, leading to frustration and a decision to step down from the National Council on Indian Opportunity. Harris is determined to push for action and change, even if it means being more assertive towards the administration.
