One day before the first anniversary of Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren's presidency over the nation's largest tribal nation, he will deliver the People's State of the Navajo Nation address. The 37-year-old president will speak before members of the Navajo Nation Council, the Navajo Nation Supreme Court, and the general public.
The event is the first time a Navajo president or chairman has presented a State of the Navajo Nation address directly to the Navajo people before being given to the Navajo Nation Council.
During his address, President Nygren will report on the progress and accomplishments his administration has made in 2023, the goals for 2024 goals, and the changes made within the Executive Branch.
Talking to Native News Online on Monday evening, he said about his first year in office:
"It's been a whirlwind. It's been exciting. I think that, especially with the size of the land, the number of people, the different types of governments, we have to deal with the three different states, the federal government, I think it's everything I've always wanted. And it's been, it's been fun."

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?
Our mission draws from the warrior spirit that has sustained Indigenous peoples for generations — the same spirit that drives us to stand guard over tribal rights through relentless investigation and fearless reporting.
Sovereignty isn't just a concept – it's the foundation of Native nations' right to govern, protect our lands, and preserve our cultures. Every story we publish strengthens tribal sovereignty.
Unlike mainstream media, we center Indigenous voices and report directly from Native communities. When we cover land rights, water protection, or tribal governance, we're not just sharing news – we're documenting our living history and defending our future.
Our journalism is powered by readers, not shareholders. If you believe in the importance of Native-led media in protecting tribal sovereignty, consider supporting our work today.
