Buu Nygren

New Mexico congressional leaders and advocates met with other federal lawmakers in Washington D.C. on Tuesday to urge reauthorizing the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA).

On Tuesday, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren spoke for the first time about sexual harassment allegations by his vice president that became public last month. He denied any wrongdoing and said accusations are not true.

Navajo Nation citizens have spent decades in need of new and improved housing across their reservation. In response, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren is working with ZenniHome in a public-private partnership to bring sustainable and affordable factory-made housing to its citizens.

On the Navajo Nation, officials say about a third of people don't have access to clean water. Back in 2009, Congress authorized a massive infrastructure project designed to address this by bringing water to more than 250,000 people, from the San Juan river. But it's not done and Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren is asking Congress to authorize five more years' work, and increase the budget.

How the remote, ancient landscape became the center of a debate among Indigenous groups weighing the value of ancestral sites against the economic potential of their future.

The ruling was a blow to a place where nearly a third of people don't have clean, reliable water access, but the legal opinions left open avenues for litigation.

Election season is in full swing and voters on the Navajo Nation will decide either to re-elect President Jonathon Nez to the seat, or make history by electing his challenger––Buu Nygren–– who could be the youngest ever to hold the position.
