Indigenous Youth Leader & Climate Activist; Community Cultural Specialist at Change Inc.; Member of Earth Guardians Youth Council
Nina Berglund Biography
Nina Berglund is a Northern Cheyenne and Oglala Lakota Indigenous youth leader, public speaker, and climate activist recognized for her advocacy on behalf of Indigenous communities, environmental justice, and water protection. Berglund began her activism at age 14, joining the Native American resistance led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to oppose the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota. This experience shaped her ongoing commitment to environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights.
Berglund became a member of the Youth Climate Intervenors, a group of 13 young people under 25 who participated in legal proceedings to challenge the Line 3 pipeline. The group collaborated with climate scientists and Indigenous elders to argue that the pipeline would threaten their future by increasing tar sands production, a significant source of climate pollution. Berglund’s efforts have centered on opposing Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline project, which poses risks to Northern Minnesota's ecosystems and the rights of Indigenous communities. The Youth Climate Intervenors were represented by student attorneys from the University of Minnesota Environmental and Energy Law Clinic in their case before the Court of Appeals.
As a member of the Earth Guardians Youth Council, Berglund has expanded her environmental advocacy beyond legal action, traveling to various territories to support communities most affected by the climate crisis. She emphasizes the importance of traditional values and methods as solutions to environmental challenges. Through her public speaking, Berglund shares perspectives on the intersection of ecological health and human rights with diverse audiences.
Berglund serves as a Community Cultural Specialist with Change Inc., working in schools and leading the Indigenous Youth Ceremonial Mentoring Society. This program provides American Indian youth with cultural skills and knowledge through an apprenticeship model, supporting the development of cultural identity and resilience in the face of systemic racism and intergenerational poverty. Berglund also became the first Indigenous youth to view original documents in the Portuguese National Archives, including 15th-century papal bulls that authorized European rulers to claim Indigenous lands, highlighting her engagement with the historical context of Indigenous rights.
Berglund’s public speaking addresses environmental justice, Indigenous rights, and climate activism. She participates in academic panels, youth organizing events, and legal challenges against energy corporations, advocating for land, water, and future generations on behalf of her nations.
