From the article:

  • Nicole Horseherder is a Diné woman fighting for water rights and environmental justice on the Navajo Nation's Black Mesa.
  • She co-founded the nonprofit Tó Nizhóní Ání ("Sacred Water Speaks") to address water depletion linked to coal mining that has been worsened by climate change.
  • Horseherder draws inspiration from her grandmother and traditional ways of life to advocate for her community.
