Buu Nygren

Navajo Nation officials criticized the U.S. Department of the Interior for protecting a swath of Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico from new oil and gas leasing for the next 20 years. They say the decision undermines tribal sovereignty.

Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren recently signed an order that lifted the last of the COVID-19 restrictions on the Navajo Nation.

The money will help carry out the agreements that define the tribes' rights to water from rivers and other sources and pay for pipelines, pumping stations, and canals that deliver it to reservations.

Leaders on the Navajo Nation have lifted a longstanding COVID-19 mask mandate. Early in the pandemic the reservation was one of the most heavily impacted areas in the country.

The Navajo Nation has rescinded a mask mandate that's been in effect since the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. A public health order says masks are still required in schools, nursing homes and health care facilities.

The Navajo Nation’s youngest-ever president took the oath of office at a ceremony Tuesday. President Buu Nygren now leads one of the largest tribes in the U.S.

Buu Nygren will be sworn in Tuesday as the next president of the vast Navajo Nation, a job that will test his ability to make good on promises to deliver water, electricity and broadband to tens of thousands who don't have it.

The new president and vice-president will take their oaths of office during the 2023 Navajo Nation Inauguration ceremony alongside the 25th Navajo Nation Council starting at 10 a.m. in Fort Defiance.

At 35 years old, Buu Nygren is the youngest person ever elected as Navajo Nation president. When he takes office in January he plans to focus on the very things he campaigned on like strengthening the tribe's economy and providing basic services for residents.
