Abstract
This case study is a narrative of the Navajo green economy campaign, told from the perspective of the Black Mesa Water Coalition organizers and the Navajo green economy coalition. The grassroots campaign fought an uphill battle against large energy corporations and tribal bureaucrats to envision and realize a green economy that was equitable and empowered local communities.
