FLAGSTAFF, Arizona – On Friday, August 23, 2024, members of Tó Nizhóní Ání traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, for World Water Week 2024, an international leading conference on global water issues organized by the Stockholm International Water Institute.
Earlier this year, Tó Nizhóní Ání was invited to attend World Water Week 2024 and asked to be on a panel on Green Colonialism. The Sámi national youth organization, Sáminuorra, organized this panel. Given this panel's Indigenous youth focus, Tó Nizhóní Ání took this opportunity to fund raise and send a delegation of Diné (Navajo) youth from the Black Mesa region to represent and speak on this topic.
